Abstract: A temperature sensing device includes a temperature-voltage converter that outputs a first voltage, having a zero temperature coefficient that does not vary with a temperature, and a second voltage having a negative temperature coefficient varying in inverse proportion to the temperature. A multiplexer alternately outputs the first voltage and the second voltage depending on a transition signal. A temperature sensor alternately receives the first voltage and the second voltage and senses the temperature depending on a ratio of the first voltage and the second voltage.
