1. A computer implemented method for implementing thermal throttling logic in an integrated circuit, comprising:

  • receiving a sensed temperature value from at least one digital thermal sensor representing a current temperature of at least one unit associated with the digital thermal sensor in the integrated circuit;

    reporting the sensed temperature as the current temperature in a status register; and

    responsive to the current temperature exceeding a first predetermined value, throttling the at least one unit in the integrated circuit.
