Abstract

An electronic system includes: a host processor; a system memory, coupled to the host processor, includes data persistence regions identified by the host processor; a non-volatile storage device, including a fast path write (FPW) reserved area, configured to store user data from the system memory in a non-volatile media; and a power monitor unit, coupled to the host processor, configured to detect a power loss by a primary power failure detector and assert a power-loss detection control; and wherein the host processor is configured to engage a RAM flush driver for moving the content of the data persistence regions to a fast path write (FPW) reserved area in the non-volatile media when the power-loss detection control is asserted.
