Abstract

The present application is directed to systems and methods for managing data in a system for hibernation states. In one implementation, a memory device comprises a controller memory, a main memory, a buffer to the main memory and a controller comprising a processor. The processor is configured to manage data storage in conjunction with hibernation of the memory device. The processor is in communication with the controller memory, the main memory and the buffer, and is configured to read data from the controller memory; write at least a portion of the data read from the controller memory into the buffer prior to the memory device entering a hibernation state; and after writing the at least a portion of the data read from the controller memory into the buffer and prior to the memory device entering the hibernation state, reduce an amount of power provided to the buffer of the to a reduced power level.
