Abstract
Provided are an electronic device and an operating method thereof. The electronic device includes a nonvolatile memory; a power management integrated circuit configured to generate operating power based on supply power received from a power source, and generate first time information independent of the supply power; and an application processor configured to receive the operating power, generate second time information, obtain, based on the generation of the operating power being interrupted, the first time information, and output, to the nonvolatile memory, time data including the first time information and the second time information, a write command, and an address.
Claims1
An electronic device comprising:
- a nonvolatile memory;
- a power management integrated circuit comprising
- a power capacitor configured to provide auxiliary power based on precharged electric charges in response to occurrence of a system-off state in which supply power received from a power source is interrupted, and
- a read-only timer configured to generate first time information based on the auxiliary power in the system-off state;
- and
- an application processor comprising
- a first system timer configured to generate second time information based on a clock source provided from an external source,
- a security processor configured to, based on the system-off state occurring, obtain the first time information and the second time information to generate time data, and
- a nonvolatile memory controller configured to provide the time data, a write command, and an address to the nonvolatile memory.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
