Abstract
Methods and systems are provided that may include a nonvolatile memory to store information, where the nonvolatile memory is associated with a configuration register to indicate a write speed setting for at least one write operation to the nonvolatile memory. A circuit may supply current to achieve an indicated write speed setting for the at least one write operation to the nonvolatile memory.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A nonvolatile memory comprising:
- one or more memory cells configured to store information;
- and
- a configuration register configured to indicate a write speed for a write operation to the one or more memory cells, the write speed based on an amount of available current for the nonvolatile memory, and
- wherein the write speed is dynamic, wherein a maximum amount of available current supplied for some write operations is different than a maximum amount of available current supplied for other write operations.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- determining a write speed for write operations to a nonvolatile memory based on an amount of available current;
- and
- supplying an amount of current to perform a write operation to the nonvolatile memory at the write speed,
- wherein the write speed is dynamic, wherein a maximum amount of available current supplied for some write operations is different than a maximum amount of available current supplied for other write operations.
1 more element
A nonvolatile memory comprising:
- at least one memory cell configured to store information,
- wherein a write operation stores the information in the at least one memory cell at a write speed based on an amount of available current for the nonvolatile memory, and
- wherein the write speed is dynamic, wherein a maximum amount of available current supplied for some write operations is different than a maximum amount of available current supplied for other write operations.
