摘要： Circuitry and method for detecting occurrence of a reflow process to an embedded storage device are disclosed. A temperature sensing device includes a resistor, a temperature sensor, and a comparator. The first terminal of the resistor is coupled to a voltage source, and the second terminal of the resistor is coupled to both the first terminal of the temperature sensor and the first input of the comparator. The second terminal of the temperature sensor is grounded and the second input of the comparator is coupled to a reference voltage. The resistance state of the temperature sensor changes from a first resistance state to a second resistance state when the temperature surrounding the temperature sensor reaches a threshold. The comparator generates an output based on the resistance changes of the temperature sensor. The generated output may indicate whether a reflow process has occurred to the embedded storage device.

摘要： A bridge includes a host interface via which data/commands are received from and transferred to a host, and a storage device interface via which data/commands are received from and transferred to a storage device. The bridge also includes one SDPC, a controller and a switching system that is configurable by the controller to connect the protocol converter to the host interface and the storage device interface if the storage device protocol used by the host device differs from the storage device protocol used by the storage device, and to connect the host device interface to the storage device interface, not via the bi-directional protocol converter, if the two storage device protocols are the same. The bridge may include two SDPCs, each for converting a different protocol to the host protocol and vice versa, with the switching system being configurable to switch between the two SDPCs. The bridge may omit the SDPC altogether, with the switching system being configurable to switch between connecting (1) the host device interface to the storage device interface, and (2) bypassing the storage device interface.

摘要： Protection against computer viruses is provided by a storage device having a memory, a controller, and a content scanning module used for scanning files for viruses. Infected files are indicated to a virus handling module that resides external to the storage device. The virus handling module may alter access to the infected files and/or indicate their presence to other system components. Such virus scanning mechanism can be built within the controller of the storage device. The protection against computer viruses may be provided by a method that includes transferring file data from the memory to the controller, reconstructing the files from the file data, activating the controller to check the reconstructed files for viruses, and indicating the infected files to the virus handling module. By using the controller within the storage device to scan for viruses, the burden on the host can be greatly reduced.
