MEMORY SYSTEM WITH CENTRALIZED POWER MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for a memory system with centralized power management are described. A memory system may include memory devices and a power management circuit. The memory devices may use one or more supply voltages during operation of the memory devices, which may include supply voltages received from an external device and high supply voltages generated within the memory system. The power management circuit may receive supply voltages from the external device and generate the supply voltages to the memory devices. The memory devices may exclude charge pump circuitry for generating supply voltages and may instead include pads for receiving the supply voltages from the power management circuit, in some examples. The memory system may include a controller that is configured to determine an amount of power to provide to the memory devices and transmit an indication of the amount of power to the power management circuit.
