Abstract:
An electronic device includes a module that delivers a positive temperature coefficient output voltage at an output terminal. A thermistor includes a first MOS transistor operating in weak inversion mode and having a negative temperature coefficient drain-source resistance and whose source is coupled to the output terminal. A current source coupled to the output terminal operates to impose the drain-source current of the first transistor.
