Abstract

A method of peak power management (PPM) for a storage system with multiple memory dies is provided, where each of the multiple memory dies includes a PPM circuit having a PPM contact pad and PPM contact pads of the multiple memory dies are electrically connected. The PPM method includes the following steps: switching on a pull-down driver of the PPM circuit on a selected memory die of the storage system; verifying a PPM enablement signal regulated by a pull-down current flowing through the pull-down driver; and performing a peak power operation on the selected memory die when the PPM enablement signal indicates that a total current of the storage system is less than a maximum total current allowed for the storage system.
