  • Patent number: 11940857
    Abstract: A multi-element device includes a plurality of memory elements, each of which includes a memory array, access circuitry to control access to the memory array, and power control circuitry. The power control circuitry, which includes one or more control registers for storing first and second control values, controls distribution of power to the access circuitry in accordance with the first control value, and controls distribution of power to the memory array in accordance with the second control value. Each memory element also includes sideband circuitry for enabling a host system to set at least the first control value and the second control value in the one or more control registers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2022
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2024
    Assignee: RAMBUS INC.
