First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for configuration of a system monitor, comprising:
- resetting a system monitor after powering up a host programmable logic device;
waiting for the programmable logic device to initialize;
activating reference generation circuits and at least one temperature sensor; and
entering a temperature sensing mode of the system monitor, the temperature sensing mode being independent of configuration of configuration memory cells of the programmable logic device.
