Abstract:
     A thermal sensing apparatus is provided with a simple diode module for sensing a temperature of a plurality of points or positions within a computer system. Such a thermal sensing apparatus comprises: a plurality of heat sensing units provided at different points or positions for sensing heat generated from one or more sensing subjects; a plurality of switching units connected to the plurality of heat sensing units; and a signal generator which compares a predetermined standard voltage and an input signal, which is changed when at least one of the plurality of switching units turns on, based on a sensing result from the plurality of heat sensing units, and generates a predetermined thermal sensing signal according to a comparision result.
