Abstract
A semiconductor device may include a local power domain configured to selectively provide or prevent power to a logic block of the memory device and a temperature sensor located on the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device may also include timeout circuitry to delay a power down of the local power domain by a timeout time based at least in part on temperature information from the temperature sensor.
