Abstract
A temperature control method and a data storage system are disclosed. The method includes: detecting whether a memory device is in a busy status; detecting whether a temperature of the memory device is higher than a first threshold value; instructing the memory device to perform a cool down procedure in response to that the memory device is in the busy status and the temperature of the memory device is higher than the first threshold value; and instructing the memory device to stop the cool down procedure in response to that the memory device is not in the busy status and the temperature of the memory device is lower than a second threshold value.
Claims10
A temperature control method, controlling a temperature of a memory device, the temperature control method comprising:
- detecting whether the memory device is in a busy status;
- detecting whether the temperature of the memory device is higher than a first threshold value;
- instructing the memory device to perform a cool down procedure in response to that the memory device is in the busy status and the temperature of the memory device is higher than the first threshold value;
- and
- instructing the memory device to stop the cool down procedure in response to that the memory device is not in the busy status and the temperature of the memory device is lower than a second threshold value.
A data storage system, comprising:
- a host system;
- and
- a memory device, coupled to the host system,
- wherein the host system is configured to detect whether the memory device is in a busy status,
- the host system is further configured to detect whether a temperature of the memory device is higher than a first threshold value,
- the host system is further configured to instruct the memory device to perform a cool down procedure in response to that the memory device is in the busy status and the temperature of the memory device is higher than the first threshold value, and
- the host system is further configured to instruct the memory device to stop the cool down procedure in response to that the memory device is not in the busy status and the temperature of the memory device is lower than a second threshold value.
