Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a computing device in which memory calibrations may be modified based on an energy budget. A computing device is configured to operate using energy provided from at least one energy source. The computing device includes a memory and a memory controller coupled to the memory. The memory controller includes a calibration circuit configured to perform a memory calibration. The computing device further includes an energy detection circuit configured to detect and indicate an amount of energy available to the computing device. The memory controller is configured to, based on the amount of energy available to the computing device and a specified energy limit, modify a resolution of the memory calibration such that the memory calibration consumes less energy than the specified energy limit.
