Abstract

An apparatus may include detection circuitry configured to detect a presence of a host clock signal on a host clock line, and detect a level of a host supply voltage upon detection of the host clock signal. The detection circuitry may configure a core regulator in a regulation mode or in a bypass mode based on the detected level of the host supply voltage. Additionally, components of analog circuitry of a non-volatile memory system may be partitioned into different supply voltage domains, with those components active during a sleep state receiving one supply voltage and those components inactive during the sleep state receiving a different supply voltage.
