Abstract
A device having device function circuitry configured to receive a device signal and output a modified device signal is disclosed. The device includes a device temperature sensor configured to generate a device temperature signal that is proportional to a temperature of the device function circuitry. The device function circuitry is further configured to maintain power dissipation of the device function circuitry to below a predetermined safe power dissipation level in response to a control signal that is generated based upon the device temperature signal.
