A temperature sensor, based on magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) device, includes an MTJ device, a PMOS device and an analog switch. Source electrode of the PMOS device is connected to a power supply; drain electrode of the PMOS device is connected to an input terminal of the MTJ device and is connected to the voltage output terminal of the temperature sensor; an output terminal of the MTJ device is connected to a ground or a circuit via the analog switch; drain electrode of the PMOS device is short circuited with gate electrode of the PMOS device. A negative input terminal of an operational amplifier is connected to the voltage output terminal and a positive input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to a reference voltage. The sensor is compatible with CMOS process and able to simultaneously perform functions such as temperature detection, over-temperature protection and over-current protection.
