Perform read or write on a non-volatile memory having a pending read or write based on temperature thereof

Abstract

A memory system includes a plurality of non-volatile memories, one or more temperature sensors each of which is disposed in or adjacent to one of the non-volatile memories, and a controller. The controller is configured to maintain a temperature increase amount and a reference temperature for each of the non-volatile memories, and select one of the non-volatile memories having a pending command as a next memory to be accessed based on a current temperature, the temperature increase amount, and the reference temperature of the selected non-volatile memory, and access the selected non-volatile memory to perform the pending command.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
