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 18):
A method, comprising:\n programming into a power management integrated circuit a threshold according to a voltage requirement of a non-volatile memory; and coupling the power management integrated circuit and the non-volatile memory in a memory system; wherein:\n during a normal operation of the memory system, the power management integrated circuit generates and supplies a voltage to the non-volatile memory; and \n during a shutdown process of the memory system, a bleed function of the power management integrated circuit reduces the voltage below the threshold before allowing restart of the memory system; \n wherein the threshold is programmed into the power management integrated circuit before the power management integrated circuit is connected to the non-volatile memory in the memory system.
