    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for integrally determining a parameter (e.g., temperature) of a die of an integrated circuit. In one instance, the apparatus may comprise a die including a first (e.g., remote) area and a second (e.g., local) area disposed at a distance from the first area, and circuitry to determine a parameter associated with the remote area of the die. The circuitry may include: a first sensing device disposed in the remote area, to provide first readings associated with the parameter; a second sensing device disposed in the local area, to provide second readings associated with the parameter; and a control module coupled with the sensing devices and disposed in the local area, to facilitate a determination of the parameter based on the first and second readings provided by the first and second sensing devices. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: An apparatus is described having a reference voltage circuit. The reference voltage circuit includes a diode to receive first and second currents having first and second respective current densities, where, the first and second current densities are different and determined by circuitry that precisely controls the respective amount of time the first and second currents flow into the diode. The reference voltage circuit also comprises circuitry to form a reference voltage by combining first and second voltages generated from respective voltages of the diode that result from the first and second currents flowing through the diode.
