Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for grouping power supplies for a power saving mode are described to configure a memory device with groups of internal power supplies whose voltage levels may be successively modified according to a group order signaled by an on-die timer. For example, when the memory device enters a deep sleep mode, respective voltage levels of a first group of internal power supplies may be modified to respective external power supply voltage levels at a first time, respective voltage levels of a second group of internal power supplies may be modified to respective external power supply voltage levels at a second time, and so on. When the memory device exits the deep sleep mode, the groups of internal voltage supplies may be modified from the respective external power supply voltage levels to respective operational voltage levels in a group order that is opposite to the entry group order.
