Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for adaptive temperature protection for a memory controller are described. In some cases, a memory system may include a set of temperature sensors distributed across the memory system. The set of temperature sensors may be used to monitor or model the temperature of one or more sections of the memory system. Upon determining that the temperature of a section exceeds a threshold, the memory system may employ one or more mitigation techniques to reduce the temperature or the rate of change of the temperature of the section. For example, the memory system may reduce a clock frequency corresponding to the section, while maintaining separate clock frequencies for other sections of the memory system. Additionally or alternatively, the memory system may transfer data or other information from the section to a separate section.
