SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONSERVING MEMORY POWER USING DYNAMIC MEMORY I/O RESIZING

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for conserving power consumption in a memory system. One such system comprises a DRAM memory system and a system on chip (SoC). The SoC is coupled to the DRAM memory system via a memory bus. The SoC comprises one or more memory controllers for processing memory requests from one or more memory clients for accessing the DRAM memory system. The one or more memory controllers are configured to selectively conserve memory power consumption by dynamically resizing a bus width of the memory bus.
