Summary:Methods, systems, and devices for bank-configurable power modes are described. Aspects include operating a memory device that has multiple memory banks in a first mode. While operating in the first mode, the memory device may receive a command to enter a second mode having a lower power consumption level than the first mode. The memory device may enter the second mode by switching a first subset of the memory banks to a first low power mode that operates at a first power consumption level and a second subset of the memory banks to a second low power mode that operates at a second power consumption level that may be lower than the first power consumption level. In some cases, the memory device may switch the first subset of memory banks from the first low power mode while maintaining the second subset of memory banks in the low power mode.
