Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment a temperature sensor has a first sensing unit operable to provide a first pseudo-differential unipolar analog signal representing a first temperature value of a power unit, an interface circuit operable to provide a second pseudo-differential unipolar analog signal representing a second temperature value of a powered unit, a multiplexer circuit which is operable to provide a pseudo-differential unipolar multiplexed analog signal comprising the first analog signal or the second analog signal, and a first analog-to-digital converter, ADC, component operable to provide a first digital signal from the multiplexed analog signal, the first digital signal comprising a digital representation of the first analog signal or the second analog signal. Therein, the operation of the first ADC component is synchronized with a control signal designed for activating the power unit.
