Programmable Circuit for SSD Power Mode Control

The patent transforms the fixed timing system into a dynamic programmable circuit that can be configured through control bits to select different timing modes (first timing mode for PCIe interface, second timing mode for SATA interface). This allows the system to adapt to different hardware connection environments while maintaining low control delay through hardware-level implementation rather than software processing.

The patent changes the timing parameters by using control bits to select between different timing modes. The first timing mode is optimized for PCIe interface while the second timing mode is optimized for SATA interface. This parameter change is implemented through a programmable circuit that can be quickly configured without requiring full software execution, thus reducing control delay while improving adaptability.

Instead of using a processor to execute timing code, the patent creates a hardware copy of the timing logic through a programmable circuit. The control bits directly configure the timing behavior without requiring code interpretation or execution. This hardware-level copying of timing functionality eliminates the processor execution overhead while maintaining the ability to adapt to different scenes through bit-level configuration.

The patent replaces the mechanical system of processor-based code execution with a hardware circuit that directly implements timing control. The programmable circuit responds to control bits through direct hardware logic rather than through software instruction execution. This substitution eliminates the time penalty associated with processor operations while preserving adaptability through configurable hardware logic.
