Abstract
A memory device includes a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array, to perform operations including identifying auxiliary data associated with a peak power management (PPM) protocol, wherein the auxiliary data is different from PPM data communicated using a high current signal data channel, and causing the auxiliary data to be communicated to at least one memory die using an auxiliary data channel.
