Abstract

A system and method of providing a voltage to a non-volatile memory. The system includes an output pin to provide an output voltage to a non-volatile memory and includes a memory to store a table. The table includes a plurality of operating voltage levels. The system further includes a voltage mode module to apply a first voltage at a first of the plurality of operating voltage levels at the output pin prior to a read operation on the non-volatile memory. The voltage mode module applies a second voltage at a second of the plurality of voltage levels at the output pin in response to a read operation that returns a failure condition.
