Abstract
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes, as an example, a temperature information receiver that receives temperature information; and a gradient determining unit that determines a gradient related to a temperature increase, based on the temperature information about a plurality of temperatures received by the temperature information receiver.
Claims20
A memory system comprising:
- a semiconductor memory;
- a memory controller configured to control writing and reading of information to/from the semiconductor memory;
- a temperature information receiver configured to receive temperature information, the temperature information receiver being provided in the memory controller;
- and
- a gradient determining unit configured to determine a gradient related to a temperature increase, based on the temperature information received by the temperature information receiver, the temperature information relating to a plurality of temperatures, the gradient determining unit being provided in the memory controller.
2 more elements
A memory controller comprising:
- a controller configured to control a program of writing information to a semiconductor memory;
- a temperature information receiver configured to receive ambient temperature information of the semiconductor memory;
- and
- a gradient determining unit configured to determine a gradient related to a temperature increase, based on the temperature information about a plurality of temperatures received by the temperature information receiver.
1 more element
A control device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, from a memory controller configured to control writing and reading of information to/from a semiconductor memory and determine a gradient related to a temperature increase based on temperature information about a plurality of temperatures, the determined gradient;
- and
- a temperature processor configured to allow the semiconductor memory and the memory controller to perform a process of protecting a various types of information stored in the semiconductor memory from being corrupted due to a temperature increase, based on the gradient received by the receiver.
