Original Abstract Submitted
A solid-state memory device that performs temperature-based block reads includes an array of non-volatile memory cells and a controller. The controller is configured to track a temperature for a region of the array of non-volatile memory cells in response to data being written to the region. The controller is configured to determine a read voltage threshold for a read request for the region based on both the tracked temperature for the region and a temperature determined for the region in response to a read request. The controller is configured to perform a read operation for the region using the determined read voltage threshold.
