Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for managing memory devices are provided. In one aspect, a system includes a host and a memory system coupled to the host. The memory system includes a memory controller and a memory device. The host is configured to, based on an operation mode of the memory system, power up the memory controller and the memory device sequentially or at the same time. The memory controller is configured to determine whether the memory device is powered up, and in response to determining that the memory device is powered up, control the memory system to operate in a first mode among more than one mode.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a host;
- and
- a memory system coupled to the host, wherein the memory system comprises a memory controller and a memory device,
- wherein the host is configured to, based on an operation mode of the memory system, power up the memory controller and the memory device sequentially or at the same time, and
- wherein the memory controller is configured to:
- determine whether the memory device is powered up;
- and
- in response to determining that the memory device is powered up, control the memory system to operate in a first mode among more than one operation mode.
A memory system, comprising:
- a memory device that is non-volatile;
- and
- a memory controller coupled to the memory device, wherein the memory controller is configured to:
- determine whether the memory device is powered up;
- and
- in response to determining that the memory device is powered up, control the memory system to operate in a first mode of more than one operation modes, wherein the memory system in the first mode is configured to execute firmware code of the memory system.
A method of operating a memory system, the method comprising:
- determining whether a memory device of the memory system is powered up;
- and
- in response to determining that the memory device is powered up, controlling the memory system to operate in a first mode, wherein the memory system in the first mode is configured to execute firmware code of the memory system.
