  • Stacked die with vertically-aligned conductors and methods for making the same
    Patent number: 8319326
    Abstract: Stacked die having vertically-aligned conductors and methods for making the same are disclosed for providing a non-volatile memory, such as flash memory (e.g., NAND flash memory), for use in an electronic device.
    Type: Grant

  • CONTROLLING AND STAGGERING OPERATIONS TO LIMIT CURRENT SPIKES
    Publication number: 20110173462
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the peak power consumption of a system, such as a non-volatile memory system (e.g., flash memory system). The system can include multiple subsystems and a controller for controlling the subsystems. Each subsystem may have a current profile that is peaky. Thus, the controller may control the peak power of the system by, for example, limiting the number of subsystems that can perform power-intensive operations at the same time or by aiding a subsystem in determining the peak power that the subsystem may consume at any given time.
