A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory device having one or more memory dies and each of the memory dies include a plurality of input-output (I/O) lines. The data storage device further includes a controller. The controller is configured to receive an instruction to enter a low-power operating mode. Entering the low-power operating mode includes removing power from the one or more memory dies, providing an output signal toggling between a logic high and a logic low at a predetermined frequency to the plurality of I/O lines for a predetermined period of time, and operating in the low-power operating mode upon the expiration of the predetermined period of time.
