Abstract
A device includes an over-temperature protection circuit configured to protect against over-temperature. The over-temperature protection circuit is coupled to receive a signal representative of temperature at the temperature sensor. The over-temperature protection circuit is coupled to adjust a temperature at which over-temperature protection is triggered based at least in part on a rate of change of the temperature at the temperature sensor.
