    Abstract: ... This paper describes a compact resistor-based temperature sensor that has been realized in a 180-nm CMOS process. It occupies only 6800 μm 2 , thanks to the use of a highly digital voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)-based phase-domain sigma-delta modulator, whose loop filter consists of a compact digital counter. Despite its small size, the sensor achieves ±0.35 °C (3σ) inaccuracy from -35 °C to 125 °C. Furthermore, it achieves 0.12 °C (1σ) resolution at 2.8 kSa/s, which is mainly limited by the time-domain quantization imposed by the counter.

    Abstract: ... A highly digital temperature sensor based on the temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity of bulk silicon has been realized in a standard 160-nm CMOS process. The sensor achieves an inaccuracy of 2.9C (3a) from -35C to 125C with no trimming and 1.2C (3a) after a single-point trim, while achieving a resolution of 0.47C (rms) at 1 kSa/s. Its compact area (2800 m2) is enabled by the adoption of a VCO-based phase-domain ADC. Since 53% of the sensor area is occupied by digital circuitry, the sensor can be easily ported to more advanced CMOS technologies with further area reduction, which makes it well suited for thermal monitoring in microprocessors and other systems-on-chip.
