 Abstract

High-resolution energy-efficient temperature sensors are often used for the temperature compensation of frequency references, and of a wide variety of other sensors. Of the various types of CMOS-compatible temperature sensors, those based on resistors are, at least in principle, the most energy efficient. The challenge is then how to design similarly energy-efficient readout circuitry. By using a second-order phase-domain delta-sigma ADC and a stable frequency reference, a resistor-based temperature sensor achieves 410uK resolution in a 5ms conversion time, while consuming only 160uW. This corresponds to a resolution FoM of 0.13pJ*K2, currently the best reported for a CMOS-compatible temperature sensor.
