Abstract:
A temperature sensor including a capacitive circuit including an input terminal for the application of an input voltage, an output terminal for the reading of an output voltage of the circuit, and a reference potential terminal, a voltage circuit for applying a predetermined voltage to the input terminal of the circuit and a circuit for reading the voltage at the output terminal of the capacitive circuit and converting the read voltage into a temperature measurement. According to the invention, the capacitive circuit includes a fir capacitor, connected between the input and output terminals, and having a capacitance decreasing according to temperature; and a second capacitor, connected between the input terminal and the terminal at the reference potential, and having a capacitance increasing along with temperature.
