Mode-dependent heating of a memory device

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory device that comprises cells having capacitive storage elements;
• a temperature sensor configured to indicate a temperature of the memory device;
• and
• a controller of the memory device configured to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a host device, an indication of the temperature of the memory device based at least in part on operating the memory device in a first mode;
• receive, from the host device while the memory device is in the first mode, signaling associated with a second mode of the memory device based at least in part on transmitting the indication of the temperature, wherein the signaling associated with the second mode comprises a command for a read operation or a command for a write operation;
• activate circuitry configured to heat the memory device based at least in part on receiving signaling associated with the second mode;
• compare an indication of the temperature of the memory device generated by the temperature sensor with a threshold;
• and
• operate the memory device in the second mode based at least in part on the comparison of the indication with the threshold.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a host device, an indication of a temperature of a memory device that comprises cells having capacitive storage elements, wherein the temperature is associated with a first mode of the memory device;
• determining, at the host device, to operate the memory device in a second mode based at least in part on receiving the indication of the temperature, wherein determining to operate the memory device in the second mode comprises comparing the temperature of the memory device to a threshold temperature;
• transmitting, from the host device, signaling associated with the second mode of the memory device, wherein the signaling associated with the second mode comprises a command for a read operation or a command for a write operation;
• receiving, at the host device, signaling that indicates the memory device is in the second mode;
• and
• performing, based at least in part on receiving the signaling that indicates the memory device is in the second mode, an access operation associated with the memory device being in the second mode.
