    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for an integrated temperature sensor and microphone package where the temperature sensor is located in, over, or near an acoustic port associated with the microphone. This placement of the temperature sensor near the acoustic port enables the temperature sensor to more accurately determine the ambient air temperature and reduces heat island interference cause by heat associated with the integrated circuit. In an embodiment, the temperature sensor can be a thermocouple formed over a substrate, with the temperature sensing portion of the thermocouple formed over the acoustic port. In another embodiment, the temperature sensor can be formed on an application specific integrated circuit that extends into or over the acoustic port. In another embodiment, a thermally conductive channel in a substrate can be placed near the acoustic port to enable the temperature sensor to determine the ambient temperature via the channel.

    Abstract: A circuit utilizes a MOS device in a triode mode of operation and includes a biasing circuit and a MOS device. The MOS device has a drain, a source, and a gate terminal, and is coupled to the biasing circuit. The source terminal, drain terminal, and gate terminal each has a potential and the drain and the source terminals have a resistance. The biasing circuit couples the drain and source terminals of the MOS device to the gate terminal of the MOS device. The biasing circuit couples a DC potential to the gate terminal to adjust the resistance between the source and drain terminals of the MOS device. The resistance between the source and drain terminals is a non-linear function of voltage potentials at the source and drain terminals. The biasing circuit reduces the non-linearity of the resistance between the drain and source terminals by modulating the potential at the gate terminal by a combination of source and drain terminal potentials.
