Definitions
- the present invention relates to an external storage device, and more particularly to a power management technique for an external storage device having a SerialATA interface.
- ATA AT Attachment
- ATAPI AT Attachment Packet Interface
- the transition of the external storage device to the low power consumption mode is basically performed by an instruction from the host device. This is because the ATAZATAPI interface does not have a function to asynchronously notify the event that occurred in the external storage device from the external storage device to the host device, so that the external storage device shifts to the low power consumption mode at its own judgment. It is because it is not possible. If the external storage device shifts to the low power consumption mode at its own discretion, the external storage device cannot accept the host device power packet command and returns to the normal operation mode in response to the host device power command. There is a risk that it will not be possible. Therefore, in order to achieve effective power management for an external storage device with an ATAZATAPI interface, how to send instructions from the host device to the external storage device in the low power consumption mode, We must solve the problem of whether to return to the normal state.
- the command packet automatic reception sequence circuit in the ATAZATAPI interface circuit accepts a packet command from the host device when the ATA / ATAPI interface circuit is in a standby state or a sleep state.
- a sequence signal for receiving a command packet is generated (for example, see Patent Document 1).
- the external storage device optical disk device
- the ATAPI bus power is extracted from the reset signal issued by the host device, and the extracted signal is based on this extracted signal. Accordingly, the optical disk apparatus is returned to the normal state (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
- SerialATA is a change from the parallel transfer method used in the ATAZATAPI standard to a serial transfer method, and performs data transmission using small-amplitude differential signals, making it more noise-resistant than the ATAZATAPI interface of the parallel transfer method. Excellent characteristics and suitable for high speed operation.
- the SerialATA standard includes a power consumption control function by the external storage device itself and a function (AN: Asynchronous Notification) that asynchronously notifies the external storage device status from the external storage device to the host device. .
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-184304
- Patent Document 2 JP 2002-318646
- the ATAZATAPI interface With the ATAZATAPI interface, if the host device is completely put into the low power consumption mode without a command request to shift to the low power consumption mode, the host device cannot respond to polling and external storage is not possible. It becomes difficult to return the device from the low power consumption mode to the normal operation mode. Therefore, with the ATA / AT API interface, it is difficult in principle to save power in the interface part because appropriate power consumption control according to the state of the external storage device cannot be performed.
- the ATA / ATAPI standard uses a parallel transfer method, and does not require an analog circuit with high power consumption at the interface. In other words, since the power consumption of the interface part is relatively small, the power consumption of the interface part was not particularly problematic in realizing low power consumption of the external storage device equipped with the ATAZATAPI interface.
- a SerialATA interface that employs a serial transfer system uses a high-speed analog circuit with high power consumption for the interface portion. Therefore, in order to realize low power consumption of the SerialATA interface, the power consumption of the interface part must be fully considered.
- the SerialATA standard incorporates a power consumption control function by the external storage device itself, but specifically, in any case, how to enter the low power consumption mode. It is not yet established how and when to return to normal operation mode.

- the power supply to the interface unit is restricted.
- the monitoring unit detects that the above data access is possible
- the monitoring unit includes a power supply control unit that resumes power supply.
- the monitoring unit monitors whether or not the data access to the recording medium by the media control unit, and the power control unit controls the power state of the interface unit according to the data access capability. Is done. In this control, when it is detected that the above data access is impossible, the power supply to the interface unit is restricted, and when it is detected that the above data access is possible, the power supply is resumed! /,Is Umono. Therefore, when the data access to the recording medium is possible, the interface unit operates in the normal operation mode.
