Patent ID: 8423092

Claim:
A mobile device comprising: a nonvolatile memory configured to store a paging algorithm, wherein the nonvolatile memory is Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM); a processor configured to execute the paging algorithm out of the nonvolatile memory and configured to decode a paging channel in response to a timing signal, wherein the processor is a mobile device processor (MDP) and wherein said MRAM is integrated into the MDP; a controller configured to output the timing signal to the processor, wherein the controller is further configured to supply power to an operational part of the mobile device during a paging channel monitoring phase and is configured to remove power from the operational part of the mobile device during intervals between the paging channel monitoring phase; a Flash memory device; and a Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), wherein the SDRAM communicates with the MDP on a first memory interface and wherein the Flash memory communicates with the MDP and the nonvolatile memory on a second memory interface.
