Patent attributes
A detection device to detect a power serving time of a super capacitor for a power-disconnected storage card and an amount of the data packets capable of being stored during the detected serving time is provided. The power-disconnected storage card includes a memory. The detection device includes a power supply unit, the super capacitor, a controller, a storage unit, and a detection unit. The storage unit stores the data packets. The detection unit includes a charge notification module, a data notification module and a time module. The charge notification module generates a first notification signal to the time module. The data notification module generates a second notification signal to the time module when the storage unit transmits the data packet to the memory. The time module records time when the memory completely store the data packet according to the first notification signal and the second notification signal.
