    Abstract: A variety of applications can include a memory device having a memory die designed to control a power budget for a cache and a memory array of the memory die. A first flag received from a data path identifies a start of a cache operation on the data and a second flag from the data path identifies an end of the cache operation. A controller for peak power management can be implemented to control the power budget based on determination of usage of current associated with the cache from the first and second flags. In various embodiments, the controller can be operable to feedback a signal to a memory controller external to the memory die to adjust an operating speed of an interface from the memory controller to the memory die. Additional devices, systems, and methods are discussed.

    Abstract: A memory device comprises a memory array that includes memory cells and a memory controller operatively coupled to the memory array. The memory controller includes an oscillator circuit, internal memory, a processor core coupled to the oscillator circuit and the internal memory, and configured to load operating firmware during a boot phase of the memory device, voltage detector circuitry configured to detect a decrease in a circuit supply voltage of the memory controller during the boot phase, and logic circuitry configured to halt operation of the oscillator circuit and power down the processor core and the internal memory during the boot phase in a low power mode in response to detecting the decrease in the circuit supply voltage.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed, including, after a first threshold time after entering an idle power mode of a storage system, without receiving a command from a host device over a communication interface, moving host data stored in volatile memory of the storage system to non-volatile memory of the storage system and transitioning a power mode of the storage system from an idle power mode to a deep idle power mode using control circuitry of the storage system, the deep idle power mode having a second power level lower than a first power level of the idle mode and a second exit latency higher than a first latency of the idle mode. The control circuitry can further determine that the storage system is ready to enter a power savings power mode and provide an indication of the determination using a unidirectional power state signal interface separate from the communication interface.

    Abstract: Devices and techniques for efficient host assisted logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping are described herein. For example, a command can be executed that results in a change as to which physical address of a memory device corresponds to a logical address. The change can be obfuscated as part of an obfuscated L2P map for the memory device and written to storage on the memory device. The change can then be provided a host from the storage.
