Abstract
A method of operating a storage device, which communicates with a host using a serial interface to reduce power consumption, includes counting fillers transmitted from a physical layer (PHY) transmission module of the host to generate a count value, comparing the count value with a reference value, and cutting off power to a PHY phase locked loop (PLL) circuit of the storage device according to a comparison result.
