Overheat protection circuit for high frequency processors

M. FRANKIEWICZ and A. KOS
The paper describes design and structure of the overheat protection circuit based on the PTAT sensors. The digital core of the system is driven by a 3-bit information generated by the structure. As a result, behaviour of the core differs for each temperature. The circuit was designed in LF CMOS 0.15 µm technology using full-custom technique. The presented paper focuses especially on the structure of the overheat protection circuit and simulations results of the functional blocks of the system. Layout and some parameters of the circuit are also considered.
Key words:

PTAT, overheat, CMOS, VLSI, full-custom design
