Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A temperature detection device includes a diode and an analog-digital converter. An output voltage signal of the diode is applicable to an input of the analog-digital converter. The temperature detection device is adapted for the purpose of coupling a reference voltage of the analog-digital converter and the diode current of the diode such that effects of variations of the reference voltage or the diode current on the digital output signal of the analog-digital converter are partially or completely suppressed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A temperature detection device, comprising: a diode that permits current in a forward direction and blocks current in a reverse direction; an analog-digital converter, an output voltage signal of the diode being applicable to an input of the analog-digital converter; and a voltage-controlled current source having a control voltage input coupled to a reference voltage input of the analog-digital converter and an output coupled to the diode; wherein a re…
