SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING TEMPERATURE RANGES HAVING TEMPERATURE THRESHOLDS AND METHOD OF DETERMINING THEREFOR

摘要

A method of determining temperature ranges and setting performance parameters in a semiconductor device that may include at least one temperature sensing circuit is disclosed. The temperature sensing circuits may be used to control various operating parameters to improve the operation of the semiconductor device over a wide temperature range. The performance parameters may be set to improve speed parameters and/or decrease current consumption over a wide range of temperature ranges.
