摘要： A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption during an operation in a non-volatile storage device is disclosed. A non-volatile storage device controller that is in communication with a non-volatile memory in the non-volatile storage device receives a characteristic corresponding to a time duration required for the non-volatile memory to complete an operation. The controller disables a circuit that indicates when an operation by the non-volatile memory is complete. The controller then initiates the operation in the non-volatile memory, and maintains the circuit in a disabled state for a first predetermined time that is a portion of the time duration. The controller enables the circuit upon expiration of the first predetermined time and prior to the completion of the operation. The controller receives an indication of the completion of the operation via the circuit.
