CPC G11C 7/04 (2013.01) [G01K 7/20 (2013.01); G01K 13/00 (2013.01); G11C 7/1063 (2013.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A non-volatile memory device comprising:
a non-volatile memory array;
a thermal sensor to detect a temperature of the non-volatile memory device; and
circuitry to:
sample the temperature of the non-volatile memory device at regular intervals,
store the sampled temperature, and
output the stored temperature in response to receipt of a command;
wherein the circuitry to sample the temperature includes:
an oscillator to generate a clock signal, wherein the regular intervals at which the temperature is to be sampled are based on the clock signal, and
a frequency divider to receive the clock signal and output a signal to turn on thermometer circuitry.
