Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for power management for a memory device are described. For example, a memory device may include one or more memory dies and may be configured to operate using a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage. The first supply voltage may be associated with a first defined voltage range, and the second supply voltage may be associated with a second defined voltage range.
