Abstract:
A memory system having a non-volatile memory and a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) that has a voltage regulator to apply a voltage on the non-volatile memory during normal operations. During a shutdown process, the PMIC has a bleeder that is activated to reduce the voltage applied on the non-volatile memory to a level that is below a programmable threshold, before allowing the memory system to restart again. During the bleeding operation, a comparator of the PMIC compares the voltage applied to the non-volatile memory and the threshold to determine whether the shutdown process can be terminated for a restart.

Claim (Index 1):
A power management integrated circuit, comprising:\n a voltage regulator to generate an output voltage; and bleed circuit, coupled to the voltage regulate, that is activated during a shutdown process to reduce the output voltage and prevent restarting of the output voltage, wherein the bleed circuit comprises a comparator to generate an output from comparing the output voltage and a programmable threshold;\n wherein the output controls engagement of the bleed circuit during the shutdown process; \n wherein when the output voltage is higher than the threshold during the shutdown process, the output of the comparator causes the bleed circuit to engage in reducing the output voltage.
