Abstract
This paper presents a temperature detection circuit implemented in 0.35-μm CMOS fabrication process. Different from the conventional circuits, we use a voltage-to-frequency converter to replace the traditional Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC). With the voltage-to-frequency converter, the resolution is improved. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture can reach a resolution less than 0.1 °C with ± 0.01 °C errors for sensing ranges between -40 °C and 125 °C.
