Adaptive throttling

Abstract:

An apparatus can include a first adaptive filter, a second adaptive filter, a filter, and a third adaptive filter. The first adaptive filter can be configured to determine an estimated magnitude of a control signal associated with a control measure based on a magnitude of a signal from a sensor, wherein the signal is indicative of operating temperature of a memory system. The second adaptive filter can be configured to determine an estimated operating temperature based on a magnitude of the control signal. The filter can be configured to determine a change magnitude of the control signal based on a difference between the magnitude of the signal from the sensor and a threshold operating temperature. The third adaptive filter can be configured to determine a throttle rate at which to apply the control signal based on a change magnitude of the control signal.
