Abstract

Methods and devices for dynamic allocation of a capacitive component in a memory device are described. A memory device may include one or more voltage rails for distributing supply voltages to a memory die. A memory device may include a capacitive component that may be dynamically coupled to a voltage rail based on an identification of an operating condition on the memory die, such as a voltage droop on the voltage rail. The capacitive component may be dynamically coupled with the voltage rail to maintain the supply voltage on the voltage rail during periods of high demand. The capacitive component may be dynamically switched between voltage rails during operation of the memory device based on operating conditions associated with the voltage rails.
