Abstract
A temperature measuring device includes an IPTAT generator for generating an IPTAT for generating a band gap reference voltage, and a voltage forwarder for generating an analogous temperature voltage corresponding to a mirror current which is a mirrored current of the IPTAT, thereby permitting to embody the temperature measuring device with SOC techniques using a digital CMOS process such that the temperature measuring device occupies small overall area.
