  • Patent number: 10983713
    Abstract: A solid state device is disclosed comprising an array of memory units, an interface connected to the memory units, at least one arrangement to monitor a temperature of the solid state device and an arrangement to monitor low power mode statistics of the solid state device and compare the low power mode statistics to a critical usage point power threshold at a temperature measured, wherein the arrangement to monitor the low power mode statistics of the solid state device is further configured to change a power mode of the solid state device based upon the low power mode statistics.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9658790
    Abstract: A memory system and method for power-based operation scheduling are provided. In one embodiment, a memory system begins to perform a plurality of operations in an order in which they are stored in a queue. Before performing a next operation in the queue, the memory system determines whether the power consumed by performing the next operation would exceed a maximum power threshold. In response to determining that the power consumed would exceed the maximum power threshold, the memory system selects an operation out of order from the queue to perform instead, so the maximum power threshold would not be exceeded. Other embodiments are provided.

  • Patent number: 8971123
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory system includes a memory controller chip with at least one temperature sensor that is individually calibrated, at a single temperature, after the nonvolatile memory system is assembled, so that the calibration data is stored outside the memory controller chip, in a nonvolatile memory chip, thus obviating the need for components to store calibration data in the memory controller chip.
