Abstract
A power management system includes a memory component storing a plurality of configuration profiles. A plurality of configuration pins are operatively coupled to the memory component. One or more of the plurality of configuration pins receive one or more signals to selectively activate one of the plurality of configuration profiles.
Claims20
A power management system, comprising:
- a memory component internal to a memory sub-system and storing a plurality of configuration profiles;
- and
- a plurality of configuration pins operatively coupled to the memory component, wherein one or more of the plurality of configuration pins receive one or more signals to selectively activate one of the plurality of configuration profiles corresponding to a particular set of operating characteristics to cause the power management component to operate according to the particular set of operating characteristics in response to a power-up operation or reset operation in the absence of an external command.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a configuration selection signal to a power management configuration pin of a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) comprising an internal memory storing a plurality of configuration profiles;
- selectively activating a configuration profile among the plurality of configuration profiles corresponding to a particular set of operating characteristics to cause the power management component to operate according to the particular set of operating characteristics based on the configuration selection signal and in response to a power-up operation or reset operation in the absence of an external command;
- and
- providing one or more control signals to the PMIC based on the selectively activated configuration profile.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- enable a configuration pin coupled to a power management component internal to a memory sub-system and storing a plurality of configuration profiles in respective portions of a memory of the power management component;
- and
- responsive to a power-up operation or reset operation and in the absence of an external command, cause enablement of the configuration pin coupled to the power management component, selectively activate a configuration profile corresponding to a particular set of operating characteristics to cause the power management component to operate according to the particular set of operating characteristics.
