ABSTRACT:
In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a localized IC thermal sensor. The thermal sensor includes an array of analog thermal sensors distributed across a circuit die to provide localized thermal measurements across the circuit die. The analog thermal sensors generate a frequency which is functionally dependent on temperature.
