The paper presents a method for online overheating protection of electronic systems. The key elements of the implementation, the thermal sensor and a chip dedicated to thermal monitoring of the various components are presented in details. Beyond on line thermal monitoring, offline static and transient thermal testing are also enabled by the suggested method, using the standard test circuitry and boundary scan
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
