Host device controlled low temperature thermal throttling

A system, comprising:

• a host device configured to:
• transmit a low temperature thermal throttling command to a memory device that indicates for the memory device to initiate a thermal throttling operation based on a temperature of the memory device not satisfying a temperature threshold,
• wherein the low temperature thermal throttling command indicates an amount of dummy data to be moved from the host device to a particular location of the memory device associated with the thermal throttling operation;
• and
• the memory device, wherein the memory device is configured to:
• receive the low temperature thermal throttling command from the host device;
• initiate the thermal throttling operation based on receiving the low temperature thermal throttling command,
• wherein the memory device, to initiate the thermal throttling operation, is configured to move the dummy data from the host device to the particular location of the memory device;
• and
• complete the thermal throttling operation based on moving the amount of data from the host device to the particular location of the memory device.

A method performed by a memory device, comprising:

• receiving a low temperature thermal throttling command that indicates for the memory device to initiate a thermal throttling operation based on a temperature of the memory device not satisfying a temperature threshold;
• performing the thermal throttling operation, based on receiving the low temperature thermal throttling command, by moving an amount of dummy data from a host device to a particular location of the memory device;
• receiving a write command associated with writing data to the memory device or a read command associated with reading data from the memory device while the memory device is performing the thermal throttling operation;
• stopping the thermal throttling operation based on receiving the write command or the read command;
• performing a write operation associated with the write command or a read operation associated with the read command;
• and
• continuing the thermal throttling operation based on completing the write operation associated with the write command or the read operation associated with the read command.
