Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for using a backup capacitor as an alternate energy source via dynamic APL budgeting are described. A memory system may use excess power available at an energy storage device such as a backup capacitor to improve performance under various circumstances. The amount of power reserved for the APL may be dynamically determined based on various conditions of the memory system. The energy reserved for APL recovery may be dynamically budgeted so that excess energy from the energy storage device may be used to improve operations. The energy storage device may be recharged using surplus power when the amount of energy required for operations at the SSD is less than the maximum power budget for the SSD.
