CENTRALIZED POWER MANAGEMENT IN MEMORY DEVICES

Abstract:

A total power requirement for a plurality of memory operations is estimated. It is determined that the total power requirement would meet a power budget. In in response to determining that the total power requirement would meet the power budget, a power profile identifier associated with a first operation of the plurality of memory operations is adjusted. The first operation and the power profile identifier are issued to a memory device. The power profile identifier is used by the memory device to regulate an amount of power used when performing the first operation.
