1. A computer implemented method for logging a maximal temperature in an integrated circuit, comprising:

  • sensing, by a digital thermal sensor, a temperature in the integrated circuit;

    reading the sensed temperature of the digital thermal sensor;

    determining if the sensed temperature is higher than a current maximal temperature for the integrated circuit that was previously sensed and logged in the integrated circuit as being the maximal temperature in the integrated circuit; and

    in response to the sensed temperature being higher than the current maximal temperature, logging the sensed temperature within the integrated circuit, wherein the sensed temperature becomes a new maximal temperature that is maintained within the integrated circuit.
