Abstract

A memory device might include a controller configured to cause the memory device to generate a first sum of expected peak current magnitudes for a plurality of memory devices, and generate a second sum of expected peak current magnitudes for a subset of the plurality of memory devices, if the memory device were to initiate a next phase of an access operation in a selected operating mode; to compare the first sum to a first current demand budget for the plurality of the memory devices; to compare the second sum to a second current demand budget for the subset of memory devices; and to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode in response to the first sum being less than or equal to the first current demand budget and the second sum being less than or equal to the second current demand budget.
