ABSTRACT:
A hard disk drive system operates from a limited power source to provide for the storage of data on the surface of a rotating hard disk media. An embedded controller incorporates a data channel for transferring data with respect to a hard disk media. The controller includes first and second subsections and a power-down circuit for providing separately switchable power from the power source to the first and section subsections. The controller further includes a processor for controlling the power-down circuit. The processor nominally provides a low duty cycle control signal to the power-down circuit for switching the provision of power to the first subsection of the controller.
