Abstract
A die-to-die voltage sharing process that may be implemented to overcome a charge pump failure on a memory die of a non-volatile storage device. When a charge pump failure is detected, a controller causes another memory die with a functional charge pump to generate and supply a voltage to the memory die with the failed charge pump. When the voltage is received by the memory die with the failed charge pump, the voltage may be used to perform a requested memory operation.
