Adaptive throttling

A method of operating a memory device, comprising:

• obtaining a performance mode of a solid state drive (SSD);
• obtaining weights from a cross correlation matrix corresponding to the performance mode;
• adapting a transfer function between a magnitude of a control signal associated with a particular control measure and an estimated operating temperature of the SSD;
• adapting a transfer function between a measured operating temperature of the SSD and an estimated magnitude of the control signal;
• determining a change magnitude of the control signal based on a difference between the measured operating temperature and a threshold operating temperature;
• and
• throttling the change magnitude of the control signal as the control signal is applied to the SSD.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:

• identify a signal from a sensor that is responsive to a change in a control signal associated with a control measure;
• determine a time delay between the change in the control signal and a change in the signal from the sensor resulting from the change in the control signal;
• determine an estimated operating temperature based on a magnitude of the control signal;
• determine an estimated magnitude of the control signal based on the signal from the sensor;
• determine a change magnitude of the control signal;
• and
• throttle the change magnitude of the control signal based on a bandwidth associated with a performance mode.
