Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
detecting, by a memory device, a read command associated with reading data stored by the memory device;
determining, by the memory device, whether the read command is from a host device in communication with the memory device;
selecting, by the memory device and based on whether the read command is from the host device, one of a first voltage pattern or a second voltage pattern to be applied to memory cells of the memory device to execute the read command,
wherein the first voltage pattern is selected if the read command is from the host device and the second voltage pattern is selected if the read command is not from the host 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

executing, by the memory device, the read command using a selected one of the first voltage pattern or the second voltage pattern.
