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.
  • The storage controller calculates the real-time power value of the device using current and voltage values received from an ADC module.
  • The storage controller generates a clock control signal based on the real-time power value.
  • The ADC module measures the current and voltage values from a power supply line.
  • The storage device includes a clock adjustment unit that adjusts multiple clock signals used to drive the storage controller based on the clock control signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Power management in storage devices: The real-time power value calculation and clock control signal generation can be used to optimize power consumption in storage devices, leading to improved energy efficiency.
  • Performance optimization: The clock adjustment unit can adjust the clock signals based on the real-time power value, allowing for dynamic optimization of performance based on power consumption.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Power optimization: By calculating the real-time power value and adjusting clock signals accordingly, the storage device can effectively manage power consumption and optimize energy usage.
  • Performance management: The clock adjustment unit ensures that the storage controller operates at the optimal clock frequency, balancing performance and power consumption.

Benefits of this technology:
