Abstract
In some examples, a method includes determining, by a processor of a controller of a data storage device, that a voltage level of a capacitor in the data storage device is above a threshold voltage value, wherein the data storage device includes a capacitor circuit, and wherein the capacitor circuit includes the capacitor. The method further includes controlling, by the processor, the capacitor circuit to cause the capacitor to provide power to circuitry associated with memory devices of the data storage device along with power provided by a host device operably connected to the data storage device.
