Abstract
A method and memory device of controlling a plurality of low power states are provided. The method includes: entering a low power mode state, in which memory cell rows of the memory device are refreshed and power consumption is lower than in a self-refresh mode state, in response to a low power state entry command; and exiting the low power mode state based on a low power mode exit latency time that is set in a mode register of the memory device or at least one of an alarm signal and a low power mode exit command.
