Thermal Considerations
The CP6924 has four temperature sensors which ensure operation within the specified temperature limits. Sensor data is
accessible via the Peripheral Manager. Although temperature sensing information is made available to the PM, the CP6924
itself does not provide any active means of temperature regulation.
As long as the temperature values stay below their upper critical threshold, all components on the CP6924 are considered
to be operated within their specified temperature range.
