Temperature sensor with delta base-emitter voltage amplification and digital curvature correction

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods related to temperature sensors for electronic devices are provided. An example temperature sensor device includes analog temperature sensor circuitry to generate a plurality of voltages indicative of a temperature; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) disposed downstream of the analog temperature sensing circuitry; switched-capacitor amplifier circuitry disposed before the ADC, the switched-capacitor amplifier circuitry comprising a single-ended amplifier to amplify the plurality of voltages with respect to a common voltage; a first switch coupled between the analog temperature sensor circuitry and the switched-capacitor amplifier circuitry to provide a sampling phase and an integration phase; and digital calculation circuitry to calculate a temperature value based on the plurality of amplified voltages.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
