  • Fault tolerance for power loss imminent circuitry failure
    Patent number: 11175713
    Abstract: A nonvolatile storage device includes a power management system with a power loss imminent (PLI) capacitor to provide backup energy in case system power is lost. The power management system includes a circuit with a charging path for the PLI capacitor that includes a series current-limiting circuit, and a diode coupled in parallel with the current-limiting circuit, the diode having a cathode coupled to the charging circuit and an anode to couple to the PLI capacitor.
    Type: Grant

  • NAND flash thermal alerting
    Patent number: 10891072
    Abstract: Devices and techniques for NAN flash thermal alerting are disclosed herein. A NAND array operation is received at a controller of a storage device that includes a NAND array. The controller evaluates a thermal condition of the NAND array in response to receipt of the NAND array operation. The controller then communicates the thermal condition along with a result of the NAND array operation.
