Abrupt shutdown and abrupt power loss management

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for receiving a reset signal;
• means for performing an abrupt shutdown operation or an abrupt power loss operation based on receiving the reset signal, wherein the means for performing the abrupt power loss operation comprise:
• means for performing a write protect operation after a last memory device command has been acknowledged;
• and
• means for performing a flash translation layer stand-by until a peripheral component interconnect express link is re-connected and command processing has resumed;
• and
• means for initiating a reduced power consumption state of the apparatus based on a completion of the abrupt shutdown operation or the abrupt power loss operation.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a memory device, a reset signal;
• performing, by the memory device, an abrupt shutdown operation based on receiving the reset signal, wherein performing the abrupt shutdown operation comprises:
• performing a cache flush;
• and
• performing a write protect operation based on a completion of the cache flush;
• initiating, by the memory device, a reduced power consumption state of the memory device based on a completion of the abrupt shutdown operation;
• detecting that a peripheral component interconnect express link between the memory device and a host device has been disconnected;
• performing another write protect operation;
• and
• initiating a flash translation layer stand-by until the peripheral component interconnect express link is re-connected and command processing has resumed.
