STORAGE DEVICES FOR POWER OPTIMIZATION, STORAGE SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATING METHODS THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18133566 titled 'STORAGE DEVICES FOR POWER OPTIMIZATION, STORAGE SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATING METHODS THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a storage device that includes a non-volatile memory and a storage controller. The storage controller is connected to the non-volatile memory and is configured to calculate the real-time power value of the storage device using current and voltage values received from an ADC module. Based on the real-time power value, the storage controller generates a clock control signal. The ADC module is connected to a power supply line and measures the current and voltage values. The storage device also includes a clock adjustment unit that adjusts multiple clock signals used to drive the storage controller based on the clock control signal and sends them to the storage controller.
- The storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a storage controller.
