摘要
Two temperature sensors realized in BiCMOS technology are described. The first sensor is using, as a temperature sensitive element, an original circuit of threshold extractor. The output of this circuit provides the p-channel transistor threshold voltage that changes with temperature. The second sensor is a resistive bridge using polysilicon and base-diffused resistors that have the temperature coefficients of opposite sign. Both sensors were realized with signal-conditioning amplifiers. The sensors characteristics are given for the temperature range of -40 to 150 degrees C. The threshold voltage is not accurately reproducible, yet the sensors temperature characteristics are linear in the whole temperature range with a slope of 1.8 mV/degrees C that is close to the theoretical one. The characteristics of bridge sensors are tightly reproducible, close to the theoretical ones, but they show essential nonlinearity in the considered temperature range. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
