Abstract :
The paper describes features of the OctaLynx RISC microprocessor version dedicated to cooperation with the Dynamic Power Management system with awareness of present circuit temperature. The processor can use two independent interrupts triggered by thermal events. Additional function registers contain information about maximum temperature found in the circuit by the hardware part of the power management system and information to control frequency generated by built-in oscillator. The processor was designed with Verilog hardware description language.
