Abstract

A memory system implemented on one or more die includes a power input line for the one or more die, a current detection circuit connected to the power input line such that the current detection circuit is configured to indicate whether current at the power input is greater than a reference current, and a control circuit connected to the power input line and the current detection circuit. The control circuit is also connected to a non-volatile memory structure comprising a plurality of non-volatile memory cells. The control circuit is configured to sense data from the non-volatile memory structure including lowering a voltage used during the sensing in response to the current detection circuit indicating that current at the power input line is greater than the reference current.
