摘要： A thermal sensing system may comprise a plurality of remote sensors distributed across an integrated circuit (IC). Each of the plurality of remote sensors provides an analog signal that varies as a function of temperature of a respective region of the IC where each respective remote sensor is located. A central system, forming part of the IC, samples the analog signals from the plurality of remote sensors and converts the sampled analog signals to corresponding digital values.

摘要： Systems, methodologies, media and other embodiments associated with peak detectors are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a voltage peak detector comprising a first detector logic configured to detect a peak voltage of an input signal. The first detector logic has a circuit behavior that produces a leakage current that may alter the peak voltage. The system can also include a second detector logic configured to replicate the circuit behavior of the first detector logic including being configured to produce a replica leakage current that is equivalent to the leakage current. The second detector logic can be operably connected to the first detector logic to cause the replica leakage current to negate the leakage current.

摘要： A sense amplifier circuit includes a voltage developing stage which receives first and second data inputs, din1 and din2, and generates a differential voltage, in response to feedback signals received from a first and second data outputs, dout1 and dour2, of the sense amplifier circuit, which is indicative of a voltage difference between the first and second data inputs, din1 and din2; a full-swing locking stage which generates and latches, in response to a control signal .PHI..sub.2 ', complementary latched data outputs from the first and second data outputs, dout1 and dout2, generated by the voltage developing stage; and a voltage equalization stage which equalizes, in response to a control signal .PHI..sub.0 ', voltages on data lines respectively connected to the first and second data outputs, dout1 and dout2. In addition, the voltage equalization stage is used to initiate the voltage developing stage. Timing of the control signals, .PHI..sub.0 ' and .PHI..sub.2 ', is such that the control signal .PHI..sub.2 ' is activated after a finite period following the deactivation of the second control signal .PHI..sub.0 '. To minimize power consumption of the sense amplifier circuit, the control signal .PHI..sub.0 ' is deactivated when either the voltage developing or full-swing locking stage is in operation and the voltage equalization stage is not needed.
