 4 Processor-M Datasheet
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted when the processor die temperature has 
reached its thermal limit. If the TCC is enabled (note that the TCC must be enabled for the 
processor to be operating within spec), TCC will be active when the PROCHOT# signal is active. 
The temperature at which the thermal control circuit activates is not user configurable and is not 
software visible. Bus snooping and interrupt latching are active while the TCC is active. 
Besides the thermal sensor and TCC, the thermal monitor feature also includes one ACPI register, 
performance monitoring logic, bits in three model specific registers (MSR), and one I/O pin 
(PROCHOT#). All are available to monitor and control the state of the thermal monitor feature. 
Thermal monitor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon the assertion or de-assertion of 
PROCHOT#. 
If automatic mode is disabled the processor will be operating out of specification. Regardless of 
enabling of the automatic or On-Demand modes, in the event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the 
processor will automatically shut down when the silicon has reached a temperature of 
approximately 135 °C. At this point the system bus signal THERMTRIP# will go active and stay 
active until RESET# has been initiated. THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor 
activity and does not generate any bus cycles. If THERMTRIP# is asserted, processor core voltage 
(V
CC
) must be removed within the timeframe defined in 
.
