ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for thermally isolating a temperature sensor mounted on a printed circuit board from a heat generating component mounted on the printed circuit board is provided. Generally, a thermal isolation region, which may be comprised of a plurality of openings in the printed circuit board, is disposed about the temperature sensor to interrupt conductive transfer of heat from the heat generating component to the temperature sensor. The openings extend sufficiently far into the printed circuit board to remove at least a portion of a conductive layer, such as a power plane from the region surrounding the temperature sensor. Electrical power and signals may be provided to the temperature sensor through regions intermediate the openings.
