  • Communications device with integrated case temperature measurement
    Patent number: 8251582
    Abstract: A communications device with integrated case temperature measurement includes a case having at least one thermally conductive wall and a circuit board at least partially disposed within the case. At least one electronic component is mounted on the circuit board and a temperature sensor is mounted on the circuit board. At least one thermally conductive protrusion extends from the wall and is thermally coupled to the temperature sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • Temperature measurement apparatus for optoelectronic transceiver
    Patent number: 8128283
    Abstract: The case temperature measurement device for an optoelectronic transceiver includes a case with at least one thermally conductive wall, at least one optical component at least partially disposed within the case, circuitry electrically coupled to the optical component. The circuitry includes a temperature sensor coupled to the circuitry. The case temperature measurement device also includes at least one protrusion formed on the wall of the case of the optoelectronic transceiver. The protrusion is thermally coupled to temperature sensor via a thermal pad. A method for estimating case temperature of the optoelectronic transceiver based on an internal temperature measurement and knowledge of the relationship between the measured internal temperature and the actual case temperature, and compensating for the effects of variable heat sources within the transceiver upon this estimate.
