  • METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CALIBRATE THERMOMETER
    Publication number: 20070055469
    Abstract: Briefly, a processor and a method to calibrate a temperature reading of a digital thermometer. The calibration is done by using a first temperature value measured by an analog temperature sensor located at one point on the processor die and a second temperature value measured by a digital temperature sensor located at a second point of the processor die.
    Type: Application

  • Method and apparatus for monitoring power in integrated circuits
    Publication number: 20070005152
    Abstract: A method includes measuring a temperature of a device, determining a voltage applied to the device, determining a leakage power for the device in real time based on the measured temperature and determined voltage and estimating an active power for the device. The method also includes adding the determined leakage power and the estimated active power to estimate a total power value associated with the device, and controlling the device based on the total power value.
