Abstract: An ambient temperature sensor is provided that may be coupled to a PCB. The ambient temperature sensor includes a package including a first cap and an insulating structure. The insulating structure is formed of thermally insulating material, and the first cap and the insulating structure delimit a first cavity. A semiconductor device is included and generates an electrical signal indicative of a temperature. The semiconductor device is fixed on top of the insulating structure and arranged within the first cavity. The package may be coupled to the PCB so that the insulating structure is interposed between the semiconductor device and the PCB. The insulating structure delimits a second cavity, which extends below the semiconductor device and is open laterally.

Abstract: A low power temperature detection method, system, and apparatus sense when a temperature threshold is reached by connecting a current conveyor (111) with a startup bias circuit (112) having a first FET (P1) (connected to level shift a reference voltage to provide an input voltage VS1), a first diode-connected BJT (Q0) (connected to generate a base-emitter voltage based on the junction temperature), and a second FET (P2) (connected to level shift the base-emitter voltage), where the startup bias circuit (112) selectively connects the current conveyor (111) to ground to form a closed loop that is activated only when an emitter current at the first diode-connected BJT (Q0) enters a self-turned-on operation region, thereby activating the current conveyor to detect a temperature threshold being reached by the device junction temperature.

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 imposes the drain-source current of the first transistor.

Abstract: Temperature sensing circuitry for an Implantable Medical Device (IMD) is disclosed that can be integrated into integrated circuitry in the IMD and draws very little power, thus enabling continuous temperature monitoring without undue battery depletion. Temperature sensor and threshold setting circuitry produces analog voltage signals indicative of a sensed temperature and at least one temperature threshold. Such circuitry employs a Ptat current reference stage and additional stages, which stages contains resistances that are set based on the desired temperature threshold(s) and to set the voltage range of the sensed temperature. These analog voltages are received at temperature threshold detection circuitry, which produces digital signal(s) indicating whether the sensed temperature has passed the temperature threshold(s). The digital signal(s) are then provided to digital circuitry in the IMD, where they can be stored as a function of time for later review, or used to immediately to control IMD operation.

Abstract: Provided is a sensor package that measures an internal temperature of a measurement object. A sensor package includes: a package including a bottomed tubular casing and plural leads substantially parallel to each other, each of the leads piercing the bottomed tubular casing; and a MEMS chip including at least one thermopile that measures a temperature difference in an identical direction. The MEMS chip is disposed in an inner bottom surface of the bottomed tubular casing of the package in a posture in which a measurement direction of the temperature difference measured with the thermopile is substantially orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of each lead.

Abstract: The temperature sensor includes a voltage generator and a temperature code generator. The voltage generator includes a first temperature element having a first resistance value and a second temperature element having a second resistance value and utilizes the first and second temperature elements to generate a temperature voltage signal having a voltage level that varies according to a variation in temperature. The voltage generator generates a reference voltage signal having a substantially constant voltage level regardless of the variation in temperature. The temperature code generator compares a voltage level of the temperature voltage signal with a voltage level of the reference voltage signal to generate a plurality of temperature code signals including information on the variation in temperature based on the comparison.

Abstract: A remote diode temperature sensing circuit for use in a burn-in system to sense a temperature of a semiconductor device under test includes a temperature sense circuit and an adapter circuit. The temperature sense circuit is configured to output temperature sense currents (Is) during a temperature sense routine. The adapter circuit is configured to drive mirrored sense currents (Ims), which mirror the temperature sense currents, through a diode of the semiconductor device that is connected to an input/output package pin, and present voltage differences across the diode responsive to the mirrored sense currents to the temperature sense circuit. The temperature sense circuit is configured to discharge a temperature output signal that is indicative of the temperature of the diode based on the voltage differences.
