Abstract
A memory system and method are provided for adaptive auto-sleep and background operations. In one embodiment, a controller of a memory system measures an amount of time between when the memory completes an operation and when the controller receives a command to perform another operation in the memory. The controller adjusts a time period after which the controller enters an auto-sleep mode and/or starts a background operation based on the measured amount of time. Other embodiments are disclosed.
