Abstract

A memory controller can include media controllers respectively coupled to memory devices. A first set of media controllers can be enabled during a first operating mode of the memory controller and a second set of media controller can be enabled during a second operating mode of the memory controller, during which some features, such as low-power features, can be disabled. Data accessed by each media controller of the first set can be aligned prior to being further transmitted to other circuitries of the memory controller that are dedicated, for example, for the low-power features.
