Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for a light hibernation mode for memory are described. A memory system may include volatile memory and non-volatile memory and may be configured to operate according to a first mode of operation (e.g., associated with relatively high power consumption), a light hibernation mode (e.g., a second mode associated with decreased power consumption in comparison to the first mode), and a full hibernation mode (e.g., a third mode of operation associated with decreased power consumption in comparison to the light hibernation mode). While operating according to the light hibernation mode, the memory system may maintain a greater quantity of data in the volatile memory relative to the full hibernation mode, which may avoid at least some power consumption related to data transfers between the volatile memory and non-volatile memory that may occur in connection with entering and exiting the full hibernation mode.
