Abstract
A method for reducing active idle power is a memory device includes incrementing, by a first processing device, a first counter when no read or write requests are received from a host system within a first predetermined period of time, and in response to determining that the first counter has reached a first predetermined threshold value, transitioning to a sleep mode. The method also includes incrementing, by a second processing device, a second counter when no read or write requests are received from the host system within a second predetermined period of time, and in response to determining that the second counter has reached a second predetermined threshold value, transitioning to the sleep mode.
