RESET INTERCEPTION TO AVOID DATA LOSS IN STORAGE DEVICE RESETS

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including a controller circuit, a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, and a reset circuit, where the reset circuit is configured to receive a reset signal from a host device and actuate a timer circuit. The timer circuit, where the timer circuit is configured to cause a storage device to reset after a threshold time period. The reset circuit is further configured to actuate the controller circuit to write data stored in the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory before the storage device is reset.
