Abstract

In some embodiments, a memory control device includes a sensor positioned remotely from a memory device, a register to store an offset value, the offset value corresponding to a difference between a temperature reading of the sensor and an estimated actual temperature of the memory device, and a controller to control an operation of the memory device, wherein the controller is configured to read the offset value from the register and control the operation of the memory device in accordance with the offset value. The controller may be configured to dynamically update the offset value during an operation of the memory device. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
