Abstract:
Disclosed is a storage device which includes an interface circuit that exchanges data with a host device, and a power management unit that supplies a power to the interface circuit. The interface circuit includes a first input terminal receiving a first signal from the host device, a second input terminal receiving a second signal complementary to the first signal from the host device, a receive module processing the first signal and the second signal, a squelch circuit detecting levels of the first signal and the second signal, and a reference clock detector detecting whether a reference clock for operating the storage device is received. The power management unit selectively supplies a power to the squelch circuit based on a result of the detection by the reference clock detector.
