A memory device may include a memory array including a plurality of memory cells and a die stack including at least a portion of the plurality of memory cells. The memory device may also include multiple temperature sensors each designed to output a temperature code corresponding to the temperature of a respective die of the die stack. One die of the die stack is then designed to output the temperature code corresponding to the hottest die of the die stack.
