is the “silicon bandgap temperature sensor“. Instead of a diode, two transistors are used, and common-mode imperfections are cancelled out with an op-amp. This works great in an IC ...

Two papers at the International Solid-state Circuits Conference tackled ultra-low power on-chip temperature sensing, one using an npn transistor and the other by sensing a wire. The npn sensor ...

Accurate and cost-effective sensing of the temperature to be controlled. Closure of the feedback loop between temperatures sensor and heat and/or cooling ... lags common in thermal control systems.

Multiplexing a bipolar power transistor between temperature self-measurement ... calibration (and recalibration if the sensor ever needs replacement). But then he saved the day with an ingenious ...
