Abstract

A memory accessing circuit includes a memory controller for scheduling accesses to a memory, and a physical interface circuit for driving signals to the memory according to scheduled accesses and having configuration data. The memory controller comprises a memory and is responsive to a low power mode entry signal to save the configuration data in the memory. The physical interface circuit removes operating power from circuitry in the physical interface circuit that stores the configuration data in response to the memory controller completing a save operation.
