发明名称 CONFIGURATION OF EXTERNAL CLOCK SIGNAL FOR A STORAGE MODULE
摘要 A storage module includes a storage controller having a control circuit that manages the operation of the storage module in at least a first state and a second state. The storage module also includes memory blocks connected to the storage controller. The memory blocks form a mass storage. A clock generation circuit connected to the storage controller and a reference clock terminal is configured to receive an external clocking signal and to generate an internal clocking signal based on the external clocking signal. The storage controller is configured to receive data, based on the internal clock signal, from the external device on a data terminal while the storage module is in the second state. The storage module also includes a first register containing data that describes a property of the external clocking signal in the first state.

主权项 1. A storage device comprising: a storage controller including a control circuit to operate the storage device in at least a first state or a second state; blocks of memory coupled to the storage controller, each of the blocks of memory having a plurality of memory circuits to store data, the blocks of memory collectively forming a storage; a power supply terminal to supply power to the storage device; a reference clock terminal configured to provide to the storage module an external clock signal from a first external device; a data terminal coupled to the storage controller and configured to couple to a second external device; a clock generation circuit coupled to the storage controller and the reference clock terminal, wherein the clock generation circuit is configured to receive the external clock signal and to generate an internal clock signal based at least in part upon the external clock signal, and wherein the storage controller is configured to receive data, based on the internal clock signal, from the second external device in response to the storage device being in the second state; and a first set of registers comprising one or more registers to store data that relates to a property of the external clock signal, in the first state of the storage device.
