Abstract
A persistent memory unit for a computer system where the memory unit can detect a catastrophic event and automatically backup volatile memory into non-volatile memory. The memory unit can operate with a limited number of power inputs and detect the loss of power and then initiate a backup after the volatile memory of the memory unit has entered a stable self-refresh mode. The memory unit uses an on-board power management interface controller capable of redistributing power from an input power line and generating different power levels for different components on the memory unit.
