System and method for determining thermal shutdown characteristics |
摘要 |
Systems and methods are disclosed to enable determining thermal protection characteristics of an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) generator that provides a PTAT signal that varies as a function of temperature. Thermal protection control system provides an output signal indicative of a thermal protection condition based at least in part on the PTAT signal. A monitoring system that provides a path to enable selective measuring of at least one signal associated with operation of the thermal protection control system.
