1. A back up power embodied non-volatile memory device, comprising:
- a connection port connected electrically to a host machine, wherein the host machine provides host data and power to the connection port through an external bus;
a battery for providing back up power;
a buffer unit for holding data from the connection port temporarily;
a non-volatile memory unit; and
a memory controller for scheduling the writing of data from the buffer unit to the non-volatile memory unit, monitoring the presence or absence of host power and supplying back up power to write the remaining data into the non-volatile memory unit if the host power disappears before data is completely written.

Abstract
A back up power embodied non-volatile memory device including a connection port, a power supply unit and a memory system. A host machine provides data and power to the connection port through an external bus. The memory system holds the data received from the connection port temporarily and transfers the data to a non-volatile memory unit inside the memory system. The power supply unit provides necessary power to complete the transfer of temporarily stored data inside the memory system to the non-volatile memory unit to become readable data when host power suddenly fails.
