  • Patent number: 10317922
    Abstract: A power supply management circuit manages transfer of power that is supplied to a peripheral device from a power supply device. The power supply management circuit includes a current limiter and one or more capacitors. The current limiter limits intensity of first current received from the power supply device through an input terminal to be smaller than or equal to limitation intensity, and outputs second current having intensity limited to be smaller than or equal to the limitation intensity through an output terminal connected to the peripheral device. When the intensity of the first current exceeds the limitation intensity, the capacitors output third current through the output terminal.

  • Publication number: 20180158492
    Abstract: A storage device includes memories and a controller. The controller controls first and second program operations on the memory. When a temperature of the memory is lower than a reference value, the controller controls execution of the first program operation. When the temperature of the memory is equal to or higher than the reference value, the controller controls execution of the second program operation which consumes a smaller amount of power than the first program operation. The controller adjusts an operational condition of the memory such that bandwidth on the memory remains equivalent during the first and second program operations.
