Claim 30:
31. An apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of dies, wherein each die of the plurality of dies is in communication with each remaining die of the plurality of dies, wherein the plurality of dies comprises a plurality of subset of dies, wherein a particular die of the plurality of dies is a member of a particular subset of dies of the plurality of dies, and wherein the particular die of the plurality of dies comprises:
a controller configured to cause the particular die to:
store a respective expected peak current magnitude for each die of the plurality of dies;
determine whether the particular die is expecting to initiate a next phase of an access operation;
in response to determining that the particular die is expecting to initiate the next phase of the access operation:
determine whether there is sufficient first current demand budget for the plurality of dies to initiate the next phase of the access operation in a selected operating mode;
determine whether there is sufficient second current demand budget for the particular subset of dies, less than the first current budget, to initiate the next phase of the access operation in a selected operating mode;
in response to determining that there is sufficient first current demand budget and sufficient second current demand budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode, initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode; and
in response to determining that there is insufficient first current demand budget or insufficient second current demand budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode, pause the particular die.
