Abstract :
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
