    摘要: A system and method for regulating temperature of a microprocessor include an oscillator having a frequency which varies based on temperature of the microprocessor wherein the oscillator is connected to the clock input of the microprocessor. The system and method allow operation of the microprocessor at reduced clock frequencies in an attempt to reduce heat generation and stabilize the microprocessor temperature prior to occurrence of a permanent failure due to an operation at excessive temperature.
