Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an overheat protection device and method for an electronic device, and in particular to an overheat protection method for temperature monitoring of an electronic device. Background technique
[0002] With the advancement of integrated circuit design and semiconductor manufacturing process, the speed of microprocessor processing data is getting faster and faster, but with the complexity of integrated circuits, the heat generated by microprocessors is also increasing. It will affect its working efficiency and reduce its service life, and even cause the computer to crash in severe cases. In order to avoid the occurrence of the above situation, the heat protection mechanism of the microprocessor generally only designs a temperature boundary value. When the temperature rises to the boundary value, the operating frequency is reduced to avoid the microprocessor from overheating. Although this mechanism provides a preventive microproce...
