Zusammenfassung:A computer implemented method, data processing system, and processor are provided for implementation of thermal throttling logic. A sensed temperature value is received from a digital thermal sensor representing a current temperature of a unit associated with the digital thermal sensor in the integrated circuit. The sensed temperature is reported as the current temperature in a status register. The unit in the integrated circuit is throttled in response to the current temperature exceeding a first predetermined value.
