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
An apparatus, comprising:
- a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) comprising internal memory and being disposed on a memory sub-system, the internal memory configured to store a plurality of configuration profiles;
- and
- configuration pins operatively coupled to the PMIC, wherein one or more of the configuration pins receive signal to activate at least one of the plurality of configuration profiles, wherein the activated at least one of the plurality of configuration profiles causes the PMIC to operate according to a particular set of operating characteristics.
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;
- and
- activating a configuration profile among the plurality of configuration profiles to cause the PMIC to operate according to a particular set of operating characteristics based on the configuration selection signal.
A system, comprising:
- a power management component comprising an internal memory storing a plurality of configuration profiles in respective portions of the internal memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the power management component, the processor to:
- enable a configuration pin coupled to a power management component;
- and
- cause, responsive to enablement of the configuration pin, the power management component to operate according to a particular set of operating characteristics corresponding to one of the configuration profiles.
