Abstract :
A programmable temperature trigger circuit with thermal hysteresis that is suitable for on-chip thermal management applications is proposed. The circuit utilizes a simple Schmitt Trigger structure. Both the location and the width of the hysteresis window are programmable. The temperature trigger circuit is designed in a 0.13um IBM CMOS process and operates with a supply voltage of 1.2V. Both the power dissipation and the silicon area are very small.
