Abstract
A temperature-controlled electronic apparatus, comprises: a circuit board; a plurality of electronic components, mounted on the circuit board in an arrangement to form at least one electronic circuit; a temperature sensor, configured to measure a temperature of the at least one electronic circuit; and a heat-generating component, configured to be controlled by a temperature control circuit, the temperature control circuit being configured to control an amount of heat generated by the heat-generating component in response to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor. The plurality of electronic components are arranged on the circuit board to lie on one of one or more paths, each path of the one or more paths being defined by a respective circle having a radius.

An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a circuit board having first and second opposed sides;
- a plurality of electronic components mounted to the circuit board and arranged to lie along a plurality of rotationally symmetric paths that define a common center point, each path in the plurality of rotationally symmetric paths having a different distance to the center point, the plurality of electronic components occupying a region of the first or second side of the circuit board;
- a heat-generating component mounted to the circuit board and located at the center point;
- and
- a heat spreader underlying the heat-generating component and being substantially coextensive with the region occupied by the plurality of electronic components.
