Abstract:
A temperature sensing circuit a switched capacitor circuit selectively samples ΔVbe and Vbe voltages and provides the sampled voltages to inputs of an integrator. A quantization circuit quantizes outputs of the integrator to produce a bitstream. When a most recent bit of the bitstream is a logic zero, operation includes sampling and integration of ΔVbe a first given number of times to produce a voltage proportional to absolute temperature. When the most recent bit of the bitstream is a logic one, operation includes cause sampling and integration of Vbe a second given number of times to produce a voltage complementary to absolute temperature. A low pass filter and decimator filters and decimates the bitstream produced by the quantization circuit to produce a signal indicative of a temperature of a chip into which the temperature sensing circuit is placed.
