Abstract

A novel fully digital CMOS smart temperature sensor with auto-calibration circuit in 65nm CMOS technology is presented. The proposed auto-calibration circuit can greatly reduce the temperature calibration efforts, and therefore it is very suitable for on-chip dynamic thermal management applications. The power consumption of the proposed circuit is 55μW with 1.0V supply.
