Abstract
A thermal sensing system allowing the measurement of the temperature of multiple integrated circuit devices using a single thermal sensor. The thermal sensor is positioned proximally to a first integrated circuit device to obtain ambient temperature readings from the device. The thermal sensor also includes remote sensing capability to measure the temperature of a second integrated circuit device positioned away from the thermal sensor. The thermal sensing system may be used to monitor a microprocessor module for an overheat condition and respond accordingly.
