3. Introduction The temperature sensors have become common elements in wide range of modern integrated circuits. The main parameters of temperature sensors are: temperature range, sensitivity, output range, linearity, accuracy. This paper describe the PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) temperature sensors that are implemented in the test chip and dedicated to CMOS integrated circuits.
