Abstract
A program operation on a subset of a plurality of memory cells is performed. A sense operation on the subset of the plurality of memory cells is performed to determine respective values stored in the subset of the plurality of memory cells. One or more patterns of pre-programmed memory cells of the memory device are identified. The one or more patterns comprise representations of values of the pre-programmed memory cells when at least one of a first temperature criterion or a second temperature criterion is satisfied. The respective values of the subset of the plurality of memory cells are compared to the values of the pre-programmed memory cells in the one or more patterns. Based on the comparison, a reading from a thermal sensor coupled to the memory device is determined to satisfy an accuracy criterion.
