1. A temperature sensor comprising:
a microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) structure having a resistance that varies with temperature; a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) capacitive element that exhibits an effective resistance to an alternating current; circuitry to determine a difference, indicative of change in temperature, between the resistance of the MEMS structure and the effective resistance of the CMOS capacitive element. |
