Abstract: A nonvolatile memory supports a standby state where the memory is ready to receive an access command to execute, and a deep power down state where the memory ignores all access commands. The memory can transition from the standby state to the deep power down state in response to a threshold amount of time in the standby state. Thus, the memory can enter the standby state after a command and then transition to the deep power down state after the threshold time.
