Abstract

This paper proposes quite accurate four-transistor temperature sensor designed and developed for thermal testing and monitoring of VLSI circuits. The sensor is featured with an extremely small area of 11.6×4.1 μm 2 and low power consumption of about 25 μW. The performance of the sensor is highly linear and the predicted temperature error is merely -1.0-+0.8°C using two-point calibration within the range of 50 - 125°C. The sensor is implemented in ASPLA CMOS 90nm 1P6M process, operated at supply voltage of IV, and tested successfully.
