Abstract

A circuit includes a temperature sensor configured to determine a circuit temperature and includes an analog circuit including one or more controllable circuit elements. The analog circuit includes at least one adjustable parameter. The circuit further includes a controller coupled to the temperature sensor and configured to select a threshold temperature. The controller is configured to control the analog circuit in response to the circuit temperature to selectively adjust at least one adjustable parameter of the analog circuit when the temperature exceeds the selected threshold temperature.
