Abstract

Methods, and apparatus configured to perform such methods, providing peak power management are useful in mitigating excessive current levels within a multi-die package. For example, a method might include providing a clock signal, counting primary clock cycles of the clock signal in a counter, monitoring an indication of high current demand for each die of the multi-die package, and determining a total unit consumption of current. The method may further include pausing an access operation for a particular die of the multi-die package at a designated point, and resuming the access operation if a value of the total unit consumption is less than or equal to a unit limit when a count value of the counter matches an assigned counter value of the particular die.
