Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A memory device, comprising:
one or more components configured to:
determine whether a read command, to read data stored by the memory device, is generated by the memory device or is generated by a host device in communication with the memory device;
identify a voltage pattern to be used to execute the read command based on whether the read command is generated by the memory device or is generated by the host device,
wherein a first voltage pattern is identified if the read command is generated by the host device and a second voltage pattern is identified if the read command is generated by the memory device,
wherein the second voltage pattern is different from the first voltage pattern,
and wherein:
the second voltage pattern consumes less power than the first voltage pattern, or
the second voltage pattern is associated with a longer read time than the first voltage pattern; and

apply the identified voltage pattern to perform a read operation based on the read command,
wherein the first voltage pattern is applied if the read command is generated by the host device and the second voltage pattern is applied if the read command is generated by the memory device.
