Abstract:
A device includes a semiconductor die including a transistor. The transistor includes a plurality of parallel transistor elements. Each transistor element includes a drain region, a source region, and a gate region. The semiconductor die includes a first temperature sensor between a first transistor element in the plurality of transistor elements and a second transistor element in the plurality of transistor elements. The first temperature sensor is configured to generate a first output signal having a magnitude that is proportional to a temperature of the first temperature sensor.
