  • Abstract
    This work presents a low power temperature sensor that is suitable for passive wireless systems. The test chip is fabricated with a 0.18 mum CMOS technology and the total area is 0.05 mm2. With temperature inaccuracy of -1.6degC/+3degC from 0degC to 100degC, the temperature sensor consumes only 220 nW at 1V under room temperature. The data conversion rate is 100 sample/s with an output resolution of 0.3degC, which is sufficient for most sensor applications.
