    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a circuit design for an integrated circuit using a circuit design tool. The circuit design tool determines maximum junction temperatures for circuit blocks in the circuit design for the integrated circuit. The circuit design tool determines defects values for the circuit blocks using the maximum junction temperatures for the circuit blocks. The circuit design tool determines a defects value for the circuit design based on the defects values for the circuit blocks. The circuit design tool determines a maximum junction temperature for the circuit design based on a comparison between the defects value for the circuit design and a target defects value for the circuit design. The circuit design tool can dynamically reconfigure configurable logic circuit blocks to improve the power, the performance, and the thermal profile to achieve an optimal junction temperature per circuit block.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit system includes a temperature sensor circuit that generates an output indicative of a temperature in an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit system also includes a temperature management controller circuit that compares the temperature indicated by the output of the temperature sensor circuit to a temperature threshold. The integrated circuit system further includes temperature reduction circuitry and/or design compilation techniques and partial or full reconfiguration that controls the temperature in the integrated circuit system. The temperature management controller circuit causes the temperature reduction circuitry to reduce the temperature in response to the temperature indicated by the output of the temperature sensor circuit exceeding the temperature threshold. The temperature sensor circuit, the temperature management controller circuit, and the temperature reduction circuitry may be implemented by soft logic circuits, hard logic circuits, or any combination thereof.
