Abstract: Signaling indicative of a command to initialize a plurality of memory dies of a memory device can be received by the memory device. Initialization of a memory die of the memory device can be delayed, at the memory die and based at least in part on fuse states of an array of fuses of the memory die, by an amount of time relative to receipt of the signaling by the memory device. Delaying initialization of memory dies of the memory device in a staggered or asynchronous manner can evenly distribute power consumption of the memory dies so that the likelihood of an associated power spike is reduced or eliminated.
