ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS FOR WRITE CACHE REPLENISHMENT IN A MEMORY DEVICE TO EXTEND CROSS-TEMPERATURE OPERATIONAL CAPACITY

Abstract:

A temperature reading from a thermal sensor connected to a memory device is determined. The memory device comprises a plurality of memory cells. At least one of a logical capacity criterion or a physical capacity criterion is determined based on the temperature reading from the thermal sensor. Responsive to determining that at least one of the logical capacity of a first data block of the plurality of memory cells configured as a first memory type satisfies the logical capacity criterion or a physical capacity of the first data block of the plurality of memory cells configured as the first memory type satisfies the physical capacity criterion, data from the first data block is migrated to a second data block of the plurality of memory cells configured as a second memory type.
