Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic power distribution for stacked memory are described. A stacked memory device may include switching components that support dynamic coupling between a shared power source of the memory device and circuitry associated with operating memory arrays of respective memory dies. In some examples, such techniques include coupling a power source with array circuitry based on an access activity or a degree of access activity for the array circuitry. In some examples, such techniques include isolating a power source from array circuitry based on a lack of access activity or a degree of access activity for the array circuitry. The dynamic coupling or isolation may be supported by various signaling of the memory device, such as signaling between memory dies, signaling between a memory die and a central controller, or signaling between the memory device and a host device.
