Abstract
A memory array arranged as a plurality of memory cells. The memory cells are configured to operate at a determined voltage. A memory management circuitry coupled to the plurality of memory cells tags a first set of the plurality of memory cells as low-voltage cells and tags a second set of the plurality of memory cells as high-voltage cells. A power source provides a low voltage to the first set of memory cells and provides a high voltage to the second set of memory cells based on the tags.
