摘要：Systems and methods are disclosed for limiting power consumption of a non-
volatile memory (NVM) using a power limiting scheme that distributes a number ofconcurrent NVM operations over time. This provides a “current consumption cap” thatfixes an upper limit of current consumption for the NVM, thereby eliminating peak powerevents. In one embodiment, power consumption of a NVM can be limited by receivingdata suitable for use as a factor in adjusting a current threshold from at least one of aplurality of system sources. The current threshold can be less than a peak currentcapable of being consumed by the NVM and can be adjusted based on the received data.A power limiting scheme can be used that limits the number of concurrent NVMoperations performed so that a cumulative current consumption of the NVM does notexceed the adjusted current threshold.
