Abstract:
A system includes a first nonvolatile memory array, a second nonvolatile memory array, and a memory controller. The memory controller is configured to write an indicator bit to the second nonvolatile memory array, determine whether the indicator bit is valid in response to a power up of the system after a high-temperature event, a received command after a high-temperature event, a predetermined number of power ups, or a power up or received command after each of a predetermined number of high-temperature events, and write data stored in the second nonvolatile memory array to the first nonvolatile memory array when the indicator bit is valid.
