Abstract
An electronic device has a case enclosing at least one heat producing component. The at least one heat producing component is capable of transmitting heat energy outside of the case. The electronic device further has a thermal sensor connected to control logic that is capable of sensing the heat energy outside of the case. The control logic is coupled to the at least one heat producing component such that it is capable of regulating the heat energy from the at least one heat producing component in response to the sensed heat energy from the thermal sensor.
