Abstract

A memory device includes sets of memory dies. Each set of memory dies includes a memory dies associated with a respective channel of a plurality of channels, and each channel of the plurality of channels has a respective ready busy (RB) signal. The memory device further includes an input/output (I/O) expander to perform operations including receiving at least one command to perform clock synchronization associated with a clock signal with respect to the plurality of sets of memory dies, and in response to receiving the command, causing circuitry of the I/O expander to be configured to create an RB signal short with respect to a particular combination of channels. The clock synchronization is associated with peak power management (PPM) initialization.
