    Abstract: A system to send a first command to a first memory die of a plurality of memory dies of a memory sub-system the first command to execute an initialization process. The system reads a first bit value from the first memory die, the first bit value indicating the first memory die is executing a peak current phase of the initialization process. The system reads a second bit value from the first memory die, the second bit value indicating the first memory die is executing a safe phase of the initialization process. In response to reading the second bit value, a second command is sent to a second memory die to execute the initialization process.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including determining whether firmware has been successfully loaded and whether the firmware version is valid and operable, and if the firmware has not been successfully loaded or the firmware is not valid and operable, tracking a number of unsuccessful attempts to load the firmware or an elapsed time for unsuccessful attempts to load the firmware, and entering a memory device into a reduced-power state if either the number of unsuccessful attempts or the elapsed time has reached a programmable threshold.

    Abstract: A memory device may comprise an array of non-volatile memory cells, and a memory controller configured for controlling access to the array of non-volatile memory cells. The memory controller may include firmware configured to control memory device performance to enforce a memory device policy. The memory controller may include at least one hardware register configured to store data indicative of the memory device policy. The firmware may be configured to read the data indicative of the memory device policy and enforce the memory device policy by controlling memory device performance.

    Abstract: Devices and techniques for accelerated memory device trim initialization are described herein. An initialization of a memory device can be started by the memory device. An accelerated trim command can be received at the memory device from a controller. The memory device can refrain from setting a trim in response to receipt of the accelerated trim command. Here, the trim is expected to be set by the controller. The memory device can then complete the initialization after the trim is set by the controller.
