A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886263B2) discloses a signal re-driving device designed to optimize power consumption in electronic systems. The device includes a receiving circuit, modulation circuit, sending circuit, and mode control circuit. The mode control circuit detects analog and digital signal features to switch between a normal operating mode and an energy-saving or standby mode. By modulating signals based on these features, the device can efficiently manage power consumption, with the modulation circuit disabled in the energy-saving mode.

Furthermore, the patent extends to a data storage system incorporating the signal re-driving device, enhancing power efficiency between processing and memory storage devices. The system operates similarly to the standalone device, detecting signal features to control modes and optimize power consumption. By implementing a mode control method, the system can effectively manage power usage based on signal characteristics, ensuring efficient operation and reduced energy consumption. This innovation offers a practical solution for improving power efficiency in electronic systems, particularly in data storage applications, by intelligently adjusting operational modes based on signal features.
