Abstract
Embodiments of the invention generally provide methods and apparatuses for updating a temperature measurement. In one embodiment, the temperature measurement is performed by a temperature sensor using one or more reference signals. A signal to update the temperature measurement is received. A determination is made of whether the clocked standby mode signal has changed within a period of time prior to receiving the signal to update the temperature measurement. If the clocked standby mode signal has changed within the period of time, the signal to update the temperature sensor is masked. If the clocked standby mode signal has not changed within the period of time, the temperature measurement is updated using the signal to update the temperature measurement.
