Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for validating a non-volatile memory (NVM) package for use in an electronic device before it is incorporated into the device. A NVM package may be validated by determining its power consumption profile, and if the profile meets predetermined criteria, that NVM package may be qualified for use in an electronic system. The power consumption profile may be obtained by issuing commands, such as read commands, to the NVM package to simultaneously access each die of the NVM package to invoke a maximum power consumption event. During this event, power consumption by the NVM package can be monitored and analyzed to determine whether the NVM package qualifies for use in an electronic device.
