Per channel thermal management techniques are described herein. In one example, a memory controller receives channel temperature information for one or more channels of one or more dies in the stack. The memory controller can then throttle commands at a channel-level based on the channel temperature information. In one example, row commands and column commands to a channel are throttled at independent rates based on the channel temperature information. In one example, a row command throttling rate or column command throttling rate is based on a ratio of alternating on-time to off time of throttling signals, or a window of time in which commands are enabled or disabled to a channel. In one example, the row and column command throttling signals can be staggered across channels or pseudo channels.
