Abstract:
A temperature sensor circuit has a reference voltage generator that is trimmable at two temperatures for increased accuracy. The reference voltage generation section generates a reference voltage, the level of which is trimmable. A voltage divider section is connected to receive the reference voltage from the reference voltage generation section and generate a plurality of comparison voltage levels determined by the reference voltage and a trimmable resistance. An analog-to-digital converter can then be connected to a temperature dependent voltage section to receive the temperature dependent output voltage, such as a proportional to absolute temperature type (PTAT) behavior, and connected to the voltage divider section to receive the comparison voltage levels. The analog to digital converter generates an output indicative of the temperature based upon a comparison of the temperature dependent output voltage to the comparison voltage levels.
