Abstract
This disclosure is related to systems and methods for temperature monitoring of electronics, such as a controller or processor within a data storage device. In one example, a controller may be configured to determine an operation to perform and determine a temperature of electronics associated with executing the operation. The controller may then delay execution of the operation when the temperature is greater than a threshold.
Claims20
A data storage device comprising:
- a controller coupled to an interface and to a data storage medium, the controller configured to:
- determine an operation to perform based on an instruction received via the interface from a host computer system;
- determine whether the operation meets a condition for a continuous data access operation;
- determine a temperature of electronics within the data storage device associated with executing the operation;
- and
- delay execution of the operation when the temperature is greater than a threshold and when the operation meets the condition for the continuous data access operation.

A controller configured to:
- determine an operation to perform;
- determine whether the operation meets a condition for a continuous data access operation;
- determine a temperature of electronics associated with executing the operation;
- and
- delay execution of the operation when the temperature is greater than a threshold and when the operation meets the condition for the continuous data access operation.

A method comprising:
- determining, via a controller, a data storage operation to perform based on an instruction received from an interface;
- determining, via the controller, whether the operation meets a condition for a continuous data access operation;
- and
- determining, via the controller, a temperature of electronics within a data storage device associated with executing the data storage operation;
- and
- delaying, via the controller, execution of the data storage operation when the temperature is greater than a threshold and when the operation meets the condition for the continuous data access operation.
