Abstract

See full text

A temperature sensor includes two branches, each branch having at least a first transistor and a second transistor connected as diodes and cascaded, so that an emitter of the first transistor is connected to a collector of the second transistor of the same branch. The temperature source also includes a current source configured to provide a current to the two branches, and an analog-to-digital convertor. The analog-to-digital convertor is connected to capture a voltage between emitters of the first transistors or of the second transistors, and is configured to convert said voltage to a digital temperature signal.
