Abstract :
The paper presents a new architecture for low voltage temperature sensors, emphasizing its high potential. This architecture matches the ultimate solid-state implementations by allowing a 30 μA quiescent current and a 2.7 V minimum supply voltage. Using this architecture, a precision centigrade temperature sensor has been designed in a thin-film resistor bipolar process
