Thermal Throttling

Thermal Throttling Technology

Thermal throttling is a technology designed to dynamically regulate the operating frequency of devices, such as SSDs, to prevent overheating and maintain stable performance. This mechanism leverages real-time temperature monitoring through dual thermal sensors placed on both the PCB and the controller. Integrated with the SP SMART toolbox, these sensors continuously monitor the SSD's temperature to detect potential overheating.

When the temperature nears critical thresholds, the thermal throttling system automatically reduces the SSD's operating frequency, minimizing heat generation. It employs multiple adjustable temperature thresholds to optimize thermal control and prevent damage caused by excessive heat. By lowering the frequency as needed, thermal throttling not only protects the SSD's components from thermal stress but also prolongs the device's lifespan, making it particularly beneficial in high-performance or long-duration usage scenarios.
