  • On-chip temperature detection using an oscillator
    Patent number: 8801281
    Abstract: A temperature detection circuit on an integrated circuit has a temperature sensitive oscillator, at least one temperature insensitive oscillator, a reference clock, process detection circuitry coupled to an output of the temperature insensitive oscillator and the output of the reference clock, the process detection circuitry to compare the outputs and produce a process signal, and temperature reference circuitry coupled to an output of the temperature sensitive oscillator, the output of the reference clock, and the process signal, the temperature detection circuitry to produce a temperature for the integrated circuit.
