POWER SAVING MEMORY APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

摘要

Some embodiments include a voltage generator to generate a voltage to apply to a line used to access a memory cell of a memory device in which the voltage is applied to the line when the memory cell is not being accessed, and a power controller to cause the voltage to change between refresh operations of the memory device. Other embodiments including additional apparatus, systems, and methods are described.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first voltage generator to generate a first voltage to apply to a first line used to access a memory cell of a memory device, wherein the first voltage is applied to the first line when the memory cell is not being accessed; a second voltage generator to generate a second voltage to apply to a second line used to transfer data with the memory cell; and a power controller to cause the first voltage to change during a time interval between refresh operations during a standby mode of the memory device and to cause the second voltage to increase in value between the refresh operations.
