Memory System and Method for Differential Thermal Throttling

摘要

A memory system and method for differential thermal throttling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory system is provided comprising a memory and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a command to perform an operation in the memory and analyze the command to determine whether thermal throttling the memory system would result in an unacceptable impact on user experience. In response to determining that thermal throttling the memory system would result in an unacceptable impact on user experience, the controller executes the command. In response to determining that thermal throttling the memory system would not result in an unacceptable impact on user experience, the controller thermal throttles the memory system. Other embodiments are provided.
