    摘要: A clock buffer device for a memory module includes a first clock input coupled to an input of a first phase-locked loop (PLL), and a second clock input coupled to an input of a second PLL. An output of the first PLL is selectably coupled to clock output buffers, and an output of the second PLL is selectably coupled to a subset of the clock output buffers. The clock buffer device receives a first indication that a first information handling system is configured to provide a first clock signal on the first clock input but to not provide a second clock signal on the second clock input, and, in response to the indication, couples the output of the first PLL to the clock output buffers and to disables the second PLL.

    摘要: A non-volatile storage circuit (10) of an embodiment includes a volatile storage unit (11) that stores information, a non-volatile storage unit (20) into which the information in the volatile storage unit is written by a store operation, and from which the information is read out to the volatile storage unit (11) by a restore operation via a restore path different from a store path in the store operation, a driver unit (12, 15) that receives a power supply and performs the store operation, and a switch unit (13, 14, 16, 17) that shuts off the power supply to the driver unit (12, 15) during the restore operation.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for power regulation for memory systems are described. In one example, a memory system, such as a memory module, may include a substrate, and an input/output component coupled with the substrate and operable to communicate signals with a host system. The memory system may also include one or more memory devices coupled with the substrate and the input/output component and operable to store data for the host system. A memory device of the one or more memory devices may include a power management component in its package with one or more memory dies. The power management component may be coupled with the one or more memory dies, and feedback component, and may be operable to provide one or more supply voltages for the one or more memory dies based on one or more voltages associated with the memory system.

    摘要: Various aspects relate to a startup circuit for a bandgap reference circuit, wherein a target voltage value is associated with the bandgap reference circuit, the target voltage value being indicative of a startup condition of the bandgap reference circuit that triggers a stable on-state of the bandgap reference circuit, wherein the startup circuit is configured to: provide a startup voltage at the bandgap reference circuit to trigger a start of an operation of the bandgap reference circuit; receive a feedback voltage, wherein the feedback voltage is representative of a startup condition of the bandgap reference circuit; and either increase the startup voltage at the bandgap reference circuit in the case that a voltage value of the feedback voltage is less than the target voltage value, or stop providing the startup voltage at the bandgap reference circuit in the case that the voltage value of the feedback voltage is equal to or greater than the target voltage value.

    摘要: Described are techniques for generating a supply voltage for an SRAM array using power switching logic. The power switching logic can generate the supply voltage using a first supply rail (supplying a higher voltage) during an active state and using a second supply rail (supplying a lower voltage) during a deep retention state. In some examples, a sensing and recovery (SR) unit is provided to sense a decrease in the second voltage, for instance, during the deep retention state. The SR unit can generate an additional voltage that modifies the supply voltage to be higher than the decreased second voltage, thereby reducing droop and/or noise in the second supply rail. The power switching logic, SR unit, and SRAM array can be co-located or distributed across a computer system. For instance, the power switching logic, SR unit, and SRAM array can be embedded within a System on Chip integrated circuit.
