A storage subsystem, such as a flash memory card, includes a charge pump that receives a power signal from a host system, and generates a regulated power signal that is provided to the storage subsystem's controller. When the power signal from the host is interrupted, the charge pump additionally acts as a backup power supply such that the storage subsystem can continue to operate temporarily.
