Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods having positionally aware communication between a controller and a plurality of solid state drives (SSD) over a multi-wire serial bus is described. An example electronic device includes a multi-wire serial bus, multiple SSD connectors coupled to the multi-wire serial bus, and a serial bus position address (BPos) line to uniquely identify the physical position of each SSD connector with a unique BPos identifier (ID). The device also includes a serial bus controller coupled to the multi-wire serial bus and further comprising circuitry configured to communicate with a specific SSD connector at a known physical position by associating the BPos ID of the specific SSD connector with the communication.

Abstract: These present disclosure provides techniques to determine the capacitance of a power loss capacitor based on voltage ripple. The power loss capacitor may be a power loss capacitor for a power loss shutdown system of a solid state drive. The capacitance may be determined as a function of the voltage ripple and a period of the voltage ripple during a natural discharge and a controlled discharge of the power loss capacitor.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that includes a solid state drive (SSD) having an enclosure, a non-volatile memory (NVM) device, a device controller coupled the NVM device, a capacitor, a backup voltage line coupled to the capacitor, and a safety assembly. The safety assembly may include a timer circuit including an input node coupled to the backup voltage line, a reset node, and an output node, an indicator circuit coupled to the output node of the timer circuit, and a temperature comparator circuit coupled to the reset node of the timer circuit, wherein if a temperature of the enclosure exceeds a threshold while a backup voltage is present on the backup voltage line, the temperature comparator circuit causes the timer circuit to trigger light pulses from the indicator circuit.

Abstract: In embodiments, an apparatus includes a burst current monitor, to detect a burst of input current drawn by a SSD from a host above a pre-defined burst threshold, and control logic coupled to the burst current monitor. The control logic, in response to the detection by the burst current monitor of the input current above the burst threshold, causes a capacitor of the SSD to supply an assistance current to the SSD, to reduce the input current drawn by the SSD. In embodiments, the capacitor is a hold-up capacitor disposed in a PLI circuit of the SSD, and the apparatus is integrated within a hold-up control logic sub-circuit of the PLI circuit.
