flash - power management

Guru 20755 points

Hello,

I did not see in omap power management documentation reference to flash nand and sram. Is there any reason for that ?

Thanks,

Ran

  • Hi Ran,

    There is not any specific functions of power management dedicated to the flash NAND and SRAM. This due to the characteristics of both memory types.

    The power consumption of SRAM varies widely depending on how frequently it is accessed. When the system is in idle this means that the SRAM is not accessed by any processes and power consumption is very little and can have a nearly negligible when sitting idle.

    Similarly the flash NAND consuming power when it is accessed but in idle its consumption is zero.
