Claim 16:
17. A method performed by a memory device, comprising:
receiving, from a host device, a command indicating that the memory device is to transition from a power state in which the memory device operates a volatile memory in a power mode for the volatile memory and a non-volatile memory in a power mode for the non-volatile memory;
transitioning, based at least in part on the command, the volatile memory from the power mode for the volatile memory to an idle power mode for the volatile memory;
transmitting, to the host device based at least in part on the command, an indication of a delay for the host device to observe between communicating the command and communicating an access command, wherein the idle power mode for the volatile memory is associated with the delay; and
transitioning, based at least in part on the command, the non-volatile memory from the power mode for the non-volatile memory to an idle power mode for the non-volatile memory, wherein the transition is delayed until after receipt of an access command, from the host device, associated with data stored in the non-volatile memory instead of the volatile memory.
