Semiconductor storage device and method of controlling the same

A semiconductor storage device comprising:

• a plurality of memory chips, at least one of the memory chips including a first controller configured to output first data, before generating a peak current in accordance with a command;
• and
• a control chip including a plurality of counters, at least one of the counters being configured to generate a count value that corresponds to a time period of generating the peak current, and a second controller configured to control, based on the count value by a counter, whether or not to output second data according to the first data from the first controller,
• wherein the first controller is configured to generate the peak current according to the second data from the second controller.

A method of controlling a semiconductor storage device including a plurality of memory chips and a control chip, the method comprising:

• shifting a first controller in one of the memory chips to a wait state in which the first controller generates a peak current, before the first controller generates the peak current in accordance with a command;
• generating, by at least one of a plurality of counters in the control chip, a count value that corresponds to a time period of generating the peak current;
• and
• causing a second controller in the control chip to search a state of the first controller and controlling, based on a result of searching the state of the first controller and the count value by a counter, whether or not to issue a cancel instruction for the wait state to the first controller that has been shifted to the wait state.
