Patent 11561710 was granted and assigned to Micron Technology on January, 2023 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The disclosure describes a programmable power management system for NAND Flash devices. In one embodiment, dedicated match logic is provided to store program counters responsible for peak power consumption of one or more NAND Flash dies. Upon detecting that a current program counter equals a stored program counter, a high current enable signal is toggled causing at least one NAND Flash die to suspend operations, thereby reducing peak power consumption of the NAND Flash device.
