Supply power dependent controllable write throughput for memory applications

摘要

Techniques that allow dynamic management of throughput in a memory device based on a power supply voltage are provided. In an example embodiment, a method of operating a memory device comprises monitoring on the power supply level applied to the device and determining a corresponding number of bitlines that the device can activate at the same time, generating a control signal based on the number of bitlines, and using the control signal to activate a portion of the memory device corresponding to the determined number of bitlines.
