Light hibernation mode for memory

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first type of memory;
• a second type of memory different than the first type of memory;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled with the first type of memory and the second type of memory, the processing circuitry configured to cause the apparatus to:
• operate according to a first mode of operation, wherein operating the apparatus according to the first mode of operation comprises operating the first type of memory in accordance with a first power state and operating the second type of memory in accordance with a second power state;
• and
• operate according to a second mode of operation in response to an indication to change a mode of operation, wherein operating the apparatus according to the second mode of operation comprises operating the first type of memory in accordance with the first power state and operating the second type of memory in accordance with a third power state corresponding to a different power consumption than the second power state.

An apparatus, comprising:

• volatile memory;
• non-volatile memory;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled with the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory, the processing circuitry configured to cause the apparatus to:
• operate according to a first mode of operation in response to a first indication to change a mode of operation, wherein operating the apparatus according to the first mode of operation comprises transferring a first quantity of data between the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory;
• and
• operate according to a second mode of operation in response to a second indication to change a mode of operation, wherein operating the apparatus according to the second mode of operation comprises transferring a second quantity of data between the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory that is greater than the first quantity of data.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a controller operable for configuring access of a first type of memory and a second type of memory different than the first type of memory, the controller configured to cause the apparatus to:
• operate according to a first mode of operation in response to a first indication to change a mode of operation, the first mode of operation associated powering down a first portion of the first type of memory;
• and
• operate according to a second mode of operation in response to a second indication to change a mode of operation, the second mode of operation associated powering down a second portion of the first type of memory that is larger than the first portion.
