Such awards of higher priority may be based on a policy directed, e.g., at maximizing the effective data throughput, balancing the data throughput and the input/output bus throughput, or other performance objective. In response to awards of higher priority, a power-management circuit of the data storage device may dynamically route a constrained power supply such that the storage dies corresponding to the higher-priority operations preferentially receive power allocation in the next time interval(s). The remainder of the power budget (if any) in those time intervals may be allocated in accordance with the default scheduling scheme. According to an embodiment, nonlimiting examples of higher-priority operations may include read-retry operations, read-scrub-based relocation, internal control operations, or other suitable higher-priority operations."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Flash-translation-layer-aided power allocation in a data storage device","description":"A data storage device having an FTL configured to award to some pending memory operations a higher priority compared to the priority given to those operations by a default scheduling scheme.
