Abstract
A processing system includes sensor circuitry and processing circuitry. The sensor circuitry is configured to be coupled to force sensor electrodes, and is configured to drive the force sensor electrodes to obtain capacitive measurements. The processing circuitry is operatively connected to the sensor circuitry and configured to aggregate the capacitive measurements into an aggregated measurement, and apply, to the aggregated measurement, a capacitive measurement to temperature mapping to obtain a current temperature of the force sensor electrodes.
