Abstract: This invention relates to a CMOS technology temperature sensor of a type which comprises a first circuit portion (2) arranged to generate an electric voltage signal whose value increases with the temperature to be sensed, and a second circuit portion (3) arranged to generate an electric voltage signal whose value decreases with the temperature to be sensed. A comparator (4) is provided as an output stage for comparing the values of both voltage signals. Advantageously, the generator element of the second circuit portion (3) is a vertical bipolar transistor connected in a diode configuration.
