Abstract
In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment may include determining, by circuitry that is capable of being coupled to an interface, characteristics of electrical power and a clock signal being transmitted via the interface to the circuitry. The method of this embodiment may also include determining, by the circuitry, based at least in part upon whether a level of at least one of the characteristics is below a predetermined level, whether to transmit other electrical power and another clock signal, generated by the circuitry, to a memory comprised in the circuitry. Of course, many variations, modifications, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- determining, by circuitry that is capable of being coupled to an interface, characteristics of electrical power and a clock signal being transmitted via the interface to the circuitry;
- and
- determining, by the circuitry, based at least in part upon whether a level of at least one of the characteristics is below a predetermined level, whether to transmit other electrical power and another clock signal to a memory comprised in the circuitry, the other electrical power and the another clock signal being generated by the circuitry.
The method of claim 5, further comprising:
- if the at least a portion of the data is verified as valid, storing the at least a portion of the data in mass storage.
An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry capable of being coupled to an interface, determining characteristics of electrical power and a clock signal being transmitted via the interface to the circuitry, determining, based at least in part upon whether a level of at least one of the characteristics is below a predetermined level, whether to transmit other electrical power and another clock signal to a memory comprised in the circuitry, and generating the other electrical power and the another clock signal.
An article comprising:
- a storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a machine result in the following:
- determining, by circuitry that is capable of being coupled to an interface, characteristics of electrical power and a clock signal being transmitted via the interface to the circuitry;
- and
- determining, by the circuitry, based at least in part upon whether a level of at least one of the characteristics is below a predetermined level, whether to transmit other electrical power and another clock signal to a memory comprised in the circuitry, the other electrical power and the another clock signal being generated by the circuitry.
A system comprising:
- a first circuit board comprising a first interface;
- and
- a circuit card comprising circuitry, memory, and a power source, the circuit card being capable of being coupled to the first interface, when the circuit card is coupled to the interface, the circuitry is capable of determining characteristics of electrical power and a clock signal being transmitted via the first interface to the circuitry, and determining, based at least in part upon whether a level of at least one of the characteristics is below a predetermined level, whether to transmit other electrical power from the power source and another clock signal to the memory.
