This book describes the analysis and design of precision temperature sensors in CMOS IC technology. It focusses on so-called smart temperature sensors, which provide a digital output signal that can be readily interpreted by a computer. The sensors described in this book are based on bipolar transistors, which are available as parasitic devices in standard CMOS technology. The relevant physical properties of these devices are described. A sigma-delta converter plays a key role in the conversion to a digital output. Both the system-level design of such a converter, and the circuit-level implementation using both continuous-time and switched-capacitor techniques are described. Special attention is paid to the application of precision interfacing techniques. Precision Temperature Sensors in CMOS Technology ends with a detailed description of three realized prototypes. The final prototype achieves an inaccuracy of only ±0.1ºC (3Sigma) over the temperature range of -55ºC to 125ºC, which is the highest performance reported to date. TOC:Acknowledgment.- 1. Introduction.- 2. Characteristics of Bipolar Transistors.- 3. Ratiometric Temperature Measurement Using Bipolar Transistors.- 4. Sigma-Delta Analog-To-Digital Conversion.- 5. Precision Circuit Techniques.- 6. Calibration Techniques.- 7. Realizations.- 8. Conclusions.- Appendices. A Derivation of Mismatch-Related Errors. A.1 Errors in DVBE B Resolution Limits of Sigma-Delta Modulators with a DC Input. C Non-Exponential Settling Transients.- About the Authors.- Index. eBook Johan H. Huijsing#Michiel A. P.
