Abstract
A host interface for a storage module may include an out-of-band (OOB) detector that is configured to detect receipt of an OOB signal using a clock signal. The clock signal may be generated by a clock generator that is activated using a counter. When an OOB signal is received, the counter may activate the clock generator. When no OOB signal is being received, the counter may wait for a predetermined time period before deactivating the clock generator.
