Emergency data storing operation selection

A system comprising:

• a power management component configured to:
• detect a power loss condition associated with a memory device;
• and
• transmit a peripheral component interconnect power loss notification (PLN) signal to the memory device;
• a logic component configured to:
• receive an emergency power fail input and a peripheral component interconnect express reset (PERST) input;
• and
• output a PERST signal based on the emergency power fail input and the PERST input;
• and
• the memory device, wherein the memory device is configured to:
• receive the PLN signal and the PERST signal;
• and
• selectively initiate a first data storing operation or a second data storing operation based on the PERST signal,
• wherein the PERST signal is sampled on a falling edge of the PLN signal, and
• wherein the first data storing operation includes storing data associated with the memory device prior to the memory device experiencing a power loss, and the second data storing operation includes storing data and metadata associated with the memory device prior to the memory device experiencing the power loss.

A method performed by a memory device, comprising:

• receiving a peripheral component interconnect power loss notification (PLN) signal and a peripheral component interconnect express reset (PERST) signal,
• wherein the PERST signal is output from a logic component to the
• memory device based on an emergency power fail input and a PERST input;
• determining whether to initiate an emergency power fail operation or a forced quiescence operation based on the PERST signal,
• wherein the PERST signal is sampled on a falling edge of the PLN signal;
• and
• initiating the emergency power fail operation or the forced quiescence operation.
