Abstract:
A subthreshold-based MOSFET temperature sensor is provided for generating a subthreshold leakage current that is proportional to a difference between a gate-to-source voltage of a first transistor and a gate-to-source voltage of a second transistor. The subthreshold leakage current is mirrored to a detector for a temperature determination.
