The present disclosure provides a device and methods to control a temperature of an integrated circuit (IC). For example, a device may include a circuit (e.g., an IC), a power monitor, a temperature sensor, and a controller. In some examples, temperature may be estimated based on power measured by a dynamic power monitor (DPM). In some cases, the estimated temperatures may be corrected based on temperature sensed by a temperature sensor on the IC. The power may be measured in shorter time periods and/or more frequent time periods compared to a time periods that the temperature sensor senses temperature. Accordingly, the temperature of an IC may be detected and adjusted more frequently based on the power measurements, and the temperature estimates may be adjusted for accuracy based on sensed temperatures.
