Abstract
An integrated circuit die is disclosed including a temperature detection circuit and a memory configured to store calibration data. The temperature detection circuit is operatively coupled to the memory, and receives an input signal. The temperature detection circuit is configured to produce an output signal dependent upon the input signal and indicative of whether a temperature of the integrated circuit die is greater than a selected temperature. During a normal operating mode of the integrated circuit die the input signal comprises the calibration data. A system and methods for calibrating the temperature detection circuit are also described.
