Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for a memory device comprising a memory system and power delivery circuitry comprising an energy storage, wherein the power delivery circuitry is configured to simultaneously deliver a first power from the energy storage and a second power from an external power supply coupled to the memory device.
Claims25
A system, comprising:
- a memory device, comprising:
- a memory system;
- and
- power delivery circuitry comprising an energy storage, wherein the power delivery circuitry is configured to simultaneously deliver to the memory system a first power from the energy storage and a second power from an external power supply coupled to the memory device.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- sensing, in a memory device, a first current of a first power supplied to a memory system of the memory device by an external power supply;
- detecting that the first current exceeds a predetermined threshold value;
- drawing a second power from an onboard energy storage of power delivery circuitry of the memory device when the first current exceeds the predetermined threshold value;
- and
- simultaneously delivering the first power and the second power to the memory system of the memory device with the power delivery circuitry.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- an external power supply;
- and
- a solid state memory device, comprising:
- a memory system;
- and
- power delivery circuitry comprising an energy storage, wherein the power delivery circuitry is configured to simultaneously deliver a first power from the external power supply coupled to the memory device and a second power from the energy storage when a power demand of the memory system is greater than a power supply limit of the external power supply.
3 more elements
A solid state memory device, comprising:
- a memory system;
- and
- power delivery circuitry, comprising:
- an onboard energy storage, wherein the power delivery circuitry is configured to simultaneously deliver to the memory system a first power from the onboard energy storage and a second power from an external power supply coupled to the solid state memory device when a current of the second power exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
