Abstract
Techniques are presented to operate a greater number of dice in parallel while not exceeding peak current limits. The device can arbitrate between multiple dice and, when needed, suspend operations on one or more dice in a way to average the chance of performance penalty so that all chips will proceed with write at an equal probability. In other aspects, the suspension of operations can be weighted based on factors such as the relative speed of the different dice or differing loads.
