Abstract

A system and method for storing data that includes at least one memory device having a plurality of memory cells for storing data; and a memory control circuit that manages the read current and read pulse width applied to the memory cells, wherein the at least one memory device has a read current circuit configured to utilize adjustments to at least one of the read current or the read pulse width applied to the memory cells. In response to a request to read a group of the memory cells, the memory control circuit in an example, in response to determining that a comparative temperature value exceeds a first threshold, is configured to perform at least one of reducing the read current and/or increasing the read pulse width to be applied to the group of memory devices to be read.
