  • Status register power interruption protection
    Patent number: 11669401
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for improved restart of a system. In an example, a system can alternate storing a status register value or state to two or more non-volatile memory locations. Upon a power interruption and restart, the value of the status register can be restored to a state very close to or commensurate with a last occurring state even if a write operation to one of the non-volatile memory locations resulted an inaccurate saving of that state of the status register.
