  • Intelligent backup capacitor management
    Patent number: 10283173
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for intelligently managing backup capacitors in a storage device. The power consumption of the device is monitored in order to determine a current backup energy requirement comprising an amount of energy needed to power the device for data-backup and power-down operations in the event of an interruption of main power to the device. Based on the current backup energy requirement, one or more of a plurality of backup capacitors of the device are turned on or off, wherein the plurality of backup capacitors are configured such that those of the plurality of backup capacitors remaining in the on state provide backup energy to the device during the interruption of main power.
