The PMA power state enables data communication between the memory and the first module and prevents data communication between the memory and any other module of the multiple modules. In another embodiment, the PMNA power state prevents data communication between the memory and any of the multiple modules, but allows a low latency transition from the PMNA power state to the PMA power state. | 03-31-2016 |
