ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for managing electrical loads of electronic devices are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a current load imposed by an electronic device, such as a memory device (or memory system), can be measured. Then, using the measured current load, the memory device can determine whether (and to what extent) operational performance should be limited. By limiting operational performance, the memory device is able to limit its current load so as to satisfy a specification criterion or other requirement. The electrical load management is well suited for use in portable memory products (e.g., memory cards) to manage current loads being drawn.
