Techniques for burst memory write operations are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a memory die is limited in how quickly it can perform memory write operations that it receives from a microcontroller due to thermal constraints. The memory die can mitigate the need for the microcontroller to perform a costly rank switch to send an operation to another die by buffering memory write operations. The microcontroller can then send several consecutive memory write operations to a first memory die before switching to a second memory die. The first memory die can then perform the memory write operations while the microcontroller has moved on to other memory operations.
