Power Failure Protection for Solid State Drives

LOW COST POWER MANAGER II SOLUTIONS
Power Failure Protection for
Solid State Drives
Reduce Hold Up Capacitor Size,
Eliminate Boost Converter, Increase
Reliability
Lattice power management solutions greatly simplify and increase
the reliability of power failure protection circuitry in Solid State
Drives (SSD). The power failure protection circuitry prevents data
loss in the event of input power failure by using the on-board holdup capacitor to provide supplemental power during that critical
period when the data is fully saved into the Flash memory. These
circuits traditionally use either a super capacitor or a tantalum
capacitor bank along with a boost converter to store the energy.
The innovative Lattice Power Manager II device simplifies and
reduces the cost of power failure protection circuitry by integrating
the charging and power switch over circuit of the hold-up capacitor.
In the case of tantalum hold-up capacitor applications, it eliminates
the need for a voltage boost converter.
Power Manager II Family
The programmable Power Manager II family consists of six devices
that can monitor and control up to 12 power supplies. The low
power POWR607 is ideal for portable SSD applications, controlling
up to six supplies and incorporating two high voltage MOSFET
drivers. The POWR1014 and POWR1220 devices are well suited
for enterprise or PCIe SSD applications. The POWR1220 can
manage up to 12 voltages and drive 4 N-Channel MOSFETs for the
most demanding SSD applications. It consists of a programmable
threshold, precision differential input comparator block with an
accuracy of 0.7%, a 48-macrocell CPLD, programmable hardware
timers, a 10-bit analog to digital converter and a trim block for the
trimming and margining of supplies.
Lattice mixed-signal product families are supported by development
kits, reference designs and design software that enable fast, easy
product development. For more information about Power Manager
