摘要
This paper presents two compact frequency-output temperature sensors based on a multivibrator current-tofrequency converter to improve sensor linearity over a wide temperature range featuring low-voltage low-power operation. Both sensors have been fabricated in a low-cost 0.18-mu m CMOS technology with a single 1.2 V supply voltage. They show high linearity over a temperature range of 40 degrees C to +120 degrees C, achieving an inaccuracy of 1 C, with sensitivities of 335 Hz/degrees C and 460 Hz/degrees C, a power consumption below 3 gW, and an area below 0.025 mm(2). These features make them a highly suitable solution in the case of portable applications.
