Systems and method are directed to Universal Flash Storage (UFS) memory system configured to support deep power-down modes wherein the UFS memory system is not required to be responsive to commands received from a host device coupled to the UFS memory system. Correspondingly, in the deep power-down modes, a link or interface between the UFS memory system and the host device may also be powered down. The UFS memory system may enter the deep power-down modes based on a command received from the host device or a hardware reset assertion, and exit the deep power-down modes based on a hardware reset de-assertion or power cycling. While in deep power-down modes, the power consumption of the UFS memory device is substantially lower than the power consumption of the UFS memory device in conventional power modes.
