ABSTRACT:
Embodiments described herein provide a power saving state for a memory system. For example, a memory system may derive clocking information from a training pattern sent over a memory channel. A memory may comprise a link to receive training frames, and circuitry to derive a clock from the training frames, and place the memory module in a low power state between training frames. Embodiments as described herein may utilize periodic training frames to implement a power saving state on the channel or the memory system, either in whole or in part.
