    Abstract: The disclosed IC includes a load circuit and a temperature sensor circuit. The temperature sensor circuit measures temperature of the IC and stores temperature data in a register. An SEL mitigation circuit monitors the IC for a temperature change indicative of an SEL. A temperature change greater than a threshold over a time interval is indicative of an SEL. The SEL mitigation circuit is configured to reduce voltage applied to the IC to a voltage level that clears an SEL in the IC in response to a temperature change exceeding the threshold and to increase voltage applied to the load circuit after the reduction in voltage.
