Abstract:
A storage device may include a connector comprising a power management pin, a detector circuit configured to detect a transition of a power management signal received on the power management pin, and a power management circuit capable of configuring power to at least a portion of the storage device based, at least in part, on the detector circuit detecting a transition of the power management signal. The connector may further include a port enable pin, and the power management circuit may be configured to be disabled based, at least in part, on a state of the port enable pin. A storage device may include a connector comprising a power management pin, a nonvolatile memory, and a power management circuit configured to operate in a first power management mode based on determining a first state of the nonvolatile memory.
