Abstract

When a component, such as a memory device, exhibits an overtemperature condition (e.g., exceeds a first threshold value), the data transmission rate with respect to the component is reduced so as to lower its operating temperature. In one embodiment, this is achieved by changing the latency at which data packets are transmitted to and from the memory device in dependance on the temperature of the device. Controlling temperature in such a fashion allows for efficient use of the component over a large range of temperatures.
