Claim Text:
1. A memory device comprising: memory circuitry configured to store data in a plurality of different data states; temperature sensor circuitry configured to sense a temperature of the memory device and to generate an initial temperature output which is indicative of the temperature of the memory device; conversion circuitry coupled with the temperature sensor circuitry and configured to convert the initial temperature output into a converted temperature output which is indicative of the temperature of the memory device at a selected one of a plurality of possible different temperature resolutions, and wherein the converted temperature output is utilized by the memory circuitry to implement at least one operation with respect to storage of the data; and wherein the converted temperature output is a first converted temperature output, and the conversion circuitry is configured to convert the initial temperature output into a second converted temperature output which is indicative of the temperature of the memory device at a selected other of the possible different temperature resolutions.
