Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for power envelope modification for memory systems based on time to thermal throttle are described. A memory system may dynamically change the power limit based on operating conditions associated with the memory system. For example, the memory system may measure the time before entering a thermal throttle mode. If the time is relatively short, the memory system may decrease the power limit, which may cause the time before entering the thermal throttle mode during a subsequent burst of host activity to increase. Alternatively, if the time is relatively long, the memory system may increase the power limit, which may cause the time before entering the thermal throttle mode during a subsequent burst of host activity to decrease.
