Abstract: A method of operating a memory sub-system includes receiving an input voltage at a power management (PM) component of a memory sub-system, where the PM component includes a capacitive voltage divider (CVD), a linear voltage regulator (LVR), and a switching voltage regulator (SVR). The method includes determining whether the input voltage corresponds to a low power mode of the memory sub-system and that the input voltage is higher than an uppermost supply voltage at which a memory component of the memory sub-system is configured to operate. The method further includes selectably coupling, responsive to a determination of the low power mode, the CVD and the LVR and sequentially reducing the input voltage by the CVD and the LVR to a supply voltage for the memory component, where the supply voltage is not higher than the uppermost supply voltage at which the memory component is configured to operate.

Abstract: A memory sub-system includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) compatible with operation at an uppermost PMIC supply voltage that is lower than a primary supply voltage of the memory sub-system. The PMIC is configured to output multiple voltages for operation of the memory sub-system based on a PMIC supply voltage. The memory sub-system further includes a capacitive voltage modifier (CVM) coupled to the PMIC. The CVM is configured to receive the primary supply voltage of the memory sub-system as an input and provide a first modified primary supply voltage (MPSV) to the PMIC as the PMIC supply voltage, where the first MPSV is not higher than the uppermost PMIC supply voltage.

Abstract: A memory sub-system comprises a power management component comprising a plurality of regulators configured to output respective operating voltages for the memory sub-system. The power management component comprises a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) and is configured to monitor voltage levels of the plurality of regulators and prevent an event of the memory sub-system from occurring until the monitored voltage levels of a set of the plurality of regulators are determined to have reached respective threshold voltage levels.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) and a power translator component coupled to the PMIC. The power translator component supplies power to the PMIC. The power translator component can further receive, from the PMIC, an indication that the PMIC has experienced a thermal event and responsive to receipt of the indication that the PMIC has experienced the thermal event, prevent powering of the PMIC.
