Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for sequential voltage control for a memory device are described. A memory device may have various voltage sources that support different voltage levels used in various operations of the memory device. Voltage sources of a memory device may be disabled under some circumstances, such as when the memory device is idled, or operated in a low-power or powered-down mode, among other circumstances. In accordance with examples as disclosed herein, voltage sources of a memory device or memory die may be sequentially enabled or sequentially disabled. For example, voltage sources may be enabled in an order from voltage sources having relatively higher nominal voltages to voltage sources having relatively lower voltages, or disabled in an order from voltage sources having relatively lower nominal voltages to voltage sources having relatively higher voltages.
