An apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of non-volatile memory cells, a charge pump circuit configured to receive a clock signal and provide a plurality of voltages to the non-volatile memory cells, and a control circuit coupled to the non-volatile memory cells and the charge pump circuit. The control circuit is configured to reduce a current consumed by the apparatus by selectively reducing a clock rate of the clock signal depending on a memory operation being performed on the non-volatile memory cells.

Apparatus and method for selectively reducing charge pump speed during erase operations

The present disclosure generally relates to utilizing the host clock signal frequency to determine whether to operate in the default pulse width modulation (PWM) link startup sequence (LSS), be changed to high speed (HS) LSS by a host device capable of operating in either PWM LSS or HS LSS, or ignore the data storage device attributes of operating in PWM LSS and instead operate according to HS LSS. In so doing, the data storage device is adaptable to work with older generation UFS host devices as well as current and future generation UFS host devices.

Determine link startup sequence (LSS) type using reference clock frequency and attribute

Systems and methods for storing data are described. A system can comprise a controller, one or more physical non-volatile memory devices, a bus comprising a plurality of input/output (I/O) lines. The controller configured to receive data, encode the received data into a codeword, and transfer, in parallel, different portions of the codeword to different physical non-volatile memory devices among the plurality of physical non-volatile memory devices.

Data storage system for improving data throughput and decode capabilities

An arrangement is illustrated wherein a flash controller with a multi-constraints dynamic resource manager module configured to control both software and hardware clients is provided. The arrangement also provides for memory and an interface for connecting the controller to a host.
