Abstract

This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for applying a dynamic strobe signal to a plurality of sense modules during programming of an array of memory cells, where a characteristic of the dynamic strobe signal is configured to limit a peak current level through the plurality of sense modules. An example apparatus the array of memory cells, a plurality of bit lines spanning the array of memory cells, and the plurality of sense modules connected to the bit lines. The plurality of sense modules enable sensing of states of memory cells. A controller determines the characteristic of the dynamic strobe signal, where the dynamic strobe signal is varied based on the determined characteristic.
