Temperature Sensors Integrated into a CMOS
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, a novel approach is presented for measuring relative temperature variations inside the pixel array of a CMOS image sensor itself. This approach can give important information when compensation for dark (current) fixed pattern noise (FPN) is needed. The test image sensor consists of pixels and temperature sensors pixels (=Tixels). The size of the Tixels is 11 μm × 11 μm. Pixels and Tixels are placed next to each other in the active imaging array and use the same readout circuits. The design and the first measurements of the combined image-temperature sensor are presented.

Smart temperature sensors in standard CMOS
A smart temperature sensor is an integrated system consisting of a temperature sensor, its bias circuitry and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). When manufactured in CMOS technology, such sensors have found widespread use due to their low cost, small size and ease of use. In this paper the basic operating principles of CMOS smart temperature sensors are explained and the stateof-the-art is r...
متن کاملTuning and Compensation of Temperature Effects in Analog Integrated Filters
In this paper several tuning strategies for integrated active filters are discussed. Furthermore we compare two compensation schemes to decrease the temperature dependence of the transconductance value of a differential gain stage. The compensation circuitry consists of on-chip temperature sensors and a level adjustment circuit all realized by standard CMOS transistor techniques. The temperatur...

We are developing low power cryogenic readout integrated circuits (ROICs) for large format far-infrared image sensors using fully-depleted-silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS technology. We have evaluated the characteristics of MOS FETs fabricated by the FD-SOI CMOS technology and have found that both p-ch and n-ch FETs show good static performance below the liquid helium temperature, where n-ch...
