Application: Data storage device and data protection method thereof (Patent ID: US20240170036A1)
The patent filed by Silicon Motion Technology Corp. describes a data protection method for a data storage device with volatile and non-volatile memory. The method involves shielding a refresh command from the host, monitoring the working voltage of the device, and triggering a refresh command to write data from volatile to non-volatile memory when the voltage is below a threshold. This process reduces write times, prevents performance degradation, and extends the service life of the storage device.
The patent includes claims detailing the specific steps and components involved in the data protection method. These claims cover aspects such as the internal power supply module, the triggering of power supply when voltage is low, and the use of a capacitor for the internal power supply. The data storage device described in the patent includes volatile and non-volatile memory, an internal power supply module, and a controller that performs the data protection method by monitoring voltage, triggering power supply, and executing the refresh command. Additional claims address the use of an external power supply module, the coupling of a voltage sensing module to the controller, and the specific components involved in the data storage device.
