An embodiment of an electronic apparatus comprises a main board, a wing board electrically coupled to the main board by a flexible connector along an edge of the main board, wherein the wing board is arranged at an angle that is non-parallel with respect to the main board. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Triangular board assembly for solid state drive

An embodiment of an electronic system comprises a main board, and a modular capacitor subassembly mechanically and electrically coupled to the main board, wherein the modular capacitor subassembly provides backup power for the main board, and wherein the main board is adapted for use in at least two housing form factors. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Modular capacitor subassembly for backup power

In one embodiment, a command for a storage device may be received, wherein the command comprises a plurality of stages. Power for the plurality of stages of the command may be dynamically allocated, wherein power for a first stage of the command is allocated first, and power for each remaining stage of the command is allocated after a preceding stage is performed.

Power management and monitoring for storage devices

Examples include techniques to power down output power rails for a storage device. In some examples, energy discharged from output capacitors for output power rails and energy discharged from input capacitors may be used to facilitate power down of power rails for the storage device.

Techniques to power down output power rails for a storage device

These present disclosure provides techniques to determine the capacitance of a power loss capacitor based on voltage ripple. The power loss capacitor may be a power loss capacitor for a power loss shutdown system of a solid state drive. The capacitance may be determined as a function of the voltage ripple and a period of the voltage ripple during a natural discharge and a controlled discharge of the power loss capacitor.
