Systems and methods to manage memory during power down and storage

A method comprising:

• receiving a temperature measurement indicative of a present temperature of a memory device at least in part by:
• receiving the temperature measurement from a first sensing device thermally coupled to a first chip of the memory device while the memory device is receiving a first amount of power, wherein the memory device is physically disposed on the first chip, is physically integrated into the first chip, or both, and wherein the memory device is configured to be supplied the first amount of power supplied when the memory device is powered-on;
• and
• receiving the temperature measurement from a second sensing device thermally coupled to a second chip of a memory controller while the memory device is not receiving the first amount of power, wherein the memory controller is physically disposed on the second chip, is physically integrated into the second chip, or both;
• determining that the temperature measurement is greater than a temperature threshold;
• in response to determining that the temperature measurement is greater than the temperature threshold, determining a memory management interval based on the temperature measurement;
• and
• sending a plurality of memory management commands to the memory device at different times within a duration of time equal to the memory management interval.

A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a memory controller to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a plurality of temperature measurements indicative of a temperature of a memory device over a sensing period;
• determining a temperature measurement from the plurality of temperature measurements, wherein the temperature measurement corresponds to a relatively greatest temperature from the plurality of temperature measurements;
• determining a memory management interval based on the temperature measurement;
• causing power to be supplied to the memory device to send a plurality of memory management commands to the memory device within a duration of time equal to the memory management interval;
• receiving an indication of an average memory maintenance time interval;
• determining whether the average memory maintenance time interval is greater than or equal to the memory management interval;
• and
• in response to the average memory maintenance time interval being greater than or equal to the memory management interval, generating the plurality of memory management commands.
