Claim 2:
3. The memory device of claim 2, wherein the remaining registers of the plurality of registers are each further configured to store a respective priority token of its respective different memory device, and wherein the controller is further configured to cause the memory device to:
determine whether there is sufficient available current budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode in response to at least:
the priority token of the memory device;
the respective priority tokens of the remaining registers of the plurality of registers;
the respective expected peak current magnitudes of the remaining registers of the plurality of registers; and
the expected peak current magnitude for the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode; and

in response to determining that the priority token of the memory device does not have the particular value:
determine whether any priority token of the plurality of registers has the particular value; and
in response to determining that the respective priority token of at least one register of the plurality of registers has the particular value:
determine whether the priority token of the memory device has the different value;
in response to determining that the priority token of the memory device has the different value:
determine whether there is sufficient available current budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode;
in response to determining that there is sufficient available current budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode, output the expected peak current magnitude for the selected operating mode and the priority token having the different value to the node; and
in response to determining that there is insufficient available current budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode:
determine whether there is sufficient available current budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode if the respective expected peak current magnitude of each register of the plurality of registers having the particular value for its respective priority token is deemed to be the expected peak current magnitude of an idle memory device;
in response to determining that there is sufficient available current budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode if the respective expected peak current magnitude of each register of the plurality of registers having the particular value for its respective priority token is deemed to be the expected peak current magnitude of an idle memory device, output the expected peak current magnitude for the selected operating mode and the priority token having the different value to the node; and
in response to determining that there is insufficient available current budget to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode if the respective expected peak current magnitude of each register of the plurality of registers having the particular value for its respective priority token is deemed to be the expected peak current magnitude of an idle memory device, output the expected peak current magnitude for an idle memory device and lesser priority token having the different value to the node.
