Asymmetric time division peak power management (TD-PPM) timing windows
A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller. The controller is configured to assert a strobe cycle having a plurality of strobes to the memory device, where a die of the memory device may be associated with one or more strobes of the plurality of strobes. The controller is further configured to determine whether the die of the memory device requires additional power and adjust a strobe length of time of the corresponding strobe when the die of the memory device requires additional power. The controller is further configured to decrease a strobe length of time of one or more strobes that do not require additional power. By utilizing a time division peak power management (TD-PPM) feature by dynamically changing a strobe length of time of each strobe of the plurality of strobes, performance and latency of the data storage device may be improved.
