Arrangement for use as temperature sensor, and for use with reference voltage source, has two logarithmic units, where each logarithmic unit has input and output, and voltage source is connected with input with terminal

摘要

The arrangement has two logarithmic units, where each logarithmic unit has an input and an output. A voltage source is connected with the input with a terminal. The voltage source provides an input voltage and has another terminal which is connected with the reference potential. The arrangement has a semiconductor component and an operating point adjusting unit which adjusts an operating point in subliminal voltage area of the input characteristic of the semiconductor component. An independent claim is included for a method for generating a voltage value linearly proportional to the temperature by a semiconductor component.
