20130166093 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An electronic device may be operated in any of a plurality of heat-dissipation modes to accommodate temperature rises, including rapid temperature rises, while allowing an electronic device to continue operating. A parameter such as clock frequency, a supply voltage, current consumption, the number of applications running, or other operating parameter, may be manipulated to control internal heat dissipation and thereby accommodate factors, such as external temperature rises. One operation mode may be a maximum operation mode in which clock(s) operate at their highest frequencies and power is supplied at its highest level. A shut-down operation mode, in which a processor cuts power to electronic components, may be entered when a temperature of interest exceeds a predetermined threshold. | 06-27-2013 |
