Computerized System and Method for Periodically Powering up a Storage Device to Avoid Data Loss
DRIVE
October 14, 2021
Disclosed are devices and methods for periodically powering up a storage device(s) (SSDs) associated with a vehicle to avoid and prevent data loss. The disclosed embodiments provide mechanisms for preserving stored data collected during the running of a vehicle without requiring the main power supply to be routed through the CPU. Through the improved configuration and application of the disclosed power management integrated circuitry (PMIC), storage devices of a vehicle are enabled to be provided direct power and refreshed without powering on the vehicle (e.g., starting the car). The PMIC also ensures that the necessary power can be provided to and maintained to the storage device(s) in the event of an unexpected power loss.
