Memory bank power coordination including concurrently performing a memory operation in a selected number of memory regions
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods related to memory bank power coordination in a memory device are disclosed. A method for memory bank power coordination may include concurrently performing a memory operation by a threshold number of memory regions, such as banks or subarrays, and executing a command to cause a power budget operation associated with the memory operation to be performed, based at least in part on information stored in a budget area, such as a register. The threshold number of memory regions may be set based at least in part on a threshold power consumption value, and the number of memory regions to concurrently perform an operation may be controlled by a bank arbiter. A counter having a value representing the threshold number of memory regions may be decremented while performing an operation, or incremented upon completion of an operation, associated with one of the memory regions. A number of the memory regions may be selected to perform a processing-in-memory (PIM) operation.
