Performing a temperature measurement operation includes a first phase and a second phase. The first phase includes providing a voltage indicative of a measured temperature to a first input of a comparator, providing a ramp signal to a second input of the comparator, and generating at an output of the comparator, pulses based on a comparison of the first input to the second input of the comparator. The second phase includes providing the voltage indicative of a measured temperature to the second input of the comparator, providing the ramp signal to the first input of the comparator, and generating at an output of the comparator, pulses based on a comparison of the first input to the second input of the comparator. Performing the temperature measurement operation also includes utilizing the pulses generated during the first and second phases to provide a digital indication of the measured temperature.
