Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a system having a memory module, a voltage generation module, and a plurality of multiplexors. The memory module has a plurality of memory blocks. The voltage generation module supplies two or more voltage rails. The multiplexors are electrically connected to the voltage generation module. Each memory block is electrically connected to one of the multiplexors. Each multiplexor is configured to switch between the two or more voltage rails based on an operational parameter of each memory block. The operational parameter of each memory block may be process control speed, storage status, an operating mode, temperature, or any combination thereof. The operating mode may further be an active mode, a standby mode, and a deep sleep mode.
