Controlling and staggering operations to limit current spikes

(canceled)

(canceled)

A method of managing peak power consumption in a non-volatile memory system, the non-volatile memory system comprising a plurality of memory subsystems, the method comprising:

• synchronizing clocks of each of the memory subsystems;
• and
• assigning each of the memory subsystems a time slot for performing operations.

-21. (canceled)

A memory system, comprising:

• a plurality of non-volatile memory (“NVM”) dies, each of the dies independently operable to perform an operation;
• and
• a controller coupled to the plurality of memory dies, wherein the controller staggers operations performed by at least two of the plurality of dies to limit the overlap of current peaks associated with the operations.
