Abstract

A computing device and method including a thermal sensor positioned on a flexible circuit located in close proximity to the device enclosure or hot-spot to most accurately track and control skin temperature of the electronic device. One or more flexible circuits may be implemented to include one or more low profile temperature sensors specifically located to detect temperature in close proximity to the enclosure and/or components of interest or hot spots which may be more accurately monitored by locating the low profile temperature sensor on the flexible circuit within the enclosure without substantially increasing the z-height of the existing flexible circuits or taking up additional room within the enclosure.
