SYSTEM ON CHIP AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

According to the present invention, a method for controlling the temperature of a semiconductor device includes a step of sensing the driving temperature of the semiconductor device, a step of controlling a body bias level for at least one functional block of the semiconductor device if the driving temperature satisfies a first condition, and a step of activating a thermal throttling operation and controlling the body bias level at the same time if the driving temperature satisfies a second condition. The thermal throttling operation controls the driving voltage and/or clock frequency of the at least one functional block of the semiconductor device.
