Abstract

See full text

A memory system supports high-performance and low-power modes. The memory system includes a memory core and a core interface. The memory core employs core supply voltages that remain the same in both modes. Supply voltages and signaling rates for the core interface may be scaled down to save power. Level shifters between the memory core and core interface level shift signals as needed to accommodate the signaling voltages used by the core interface in the different modes.
