Original Abstract Submitted
a memory device might include registers configured to store expected peak current magnitudes corresponding to a plurality of memory devices containing the memory device, and a controller configured to cause the memory device to determine whether to initiate a next phase of an access operation in response to at least a first sum of an expected peak current magnitude for the next phase of the access operation in a selected operating mode and the expected peak current magnitudes of each of the registers other than a respective register of the memory device relative to a first current demand budget, and a second sum of the expected peak current magnitude for the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode and the expected peak current magnitudes of each of the registers other than a respective register of the memory device relative to a second, lower, current demand budget.
