Abstract
An apparatus can comprise a memory array comprising a plurality of erase blocks and a plurality of strings of memory cells. Each string of the plurality of strings can comprise: a first group of memory cells coupled to a first group of access lines and corresponding to a first erase block; and a second group of memory cells coupled to a second group of access lines and corresponding to a second erase block. A controller coupled to the memory array can be configured to: receive a write command corresponding to data to be written to the memory array; determine a temperature classification for the data to which the write command corresponds; and, based on the determined temperature classification for the data, route the data to a first write cursor or to one of a number of different write cursors.
