Abstract
A serial communication system includes an integrated circuit having a master serial interface; and a processor having a slave serial interface coupled to the master serial interface through a clock signal line and a data signal line. The slave serial interface is responsive to a read temperature command issued by the master serial interface to return a first temperature value associated with the processor.
