Abstract
Thermal control for a controller in a data processing environment is described. In one embodiment, the invention includes detecting a temperature of a semiconductor device at a thermal sensor on the semiconductor device, comparing the detected temperature to a threshold, and generating a high interrupt if the temperature is above the threshold and a low interrupt if the temperature is below the threshold.
