An EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) reprogrammable fuse for trimming a digital temperature sensor is designed in a 0.18-µm CMOS EEPROM. The fuse uses EEPROM memory cells, which allow multiple programming cycles by modifying the stored data on the digital trim codes applied to the thermal sensor. By reprogramming the fuse, the temperature sensor can be adjusted with an increased trim variation in order to achieve higher accuracy. Experimental results for the trimmed digital sensor showed a +1.5/−1.0 ℃ inaccuracy in the temperature range of −20 to 125 ℃ for 25 trimmed DTS samples at 1.8 V by one-point calibration. Furthermore, an average mean of 0.40 ℃ and a standard deviation of 0.70 ℃ temperature error were obtained in the same temperature range for power supply voltages from 1.7 to 1.9 V. Thus, the digital sensor exhibits similar performances for the entire power supply range of 1.7 to 3.6 V.

A high-speed low-supply-sensitivity temperature sensor is presented for thermal monitoring of system on a chip (SoC). The proposed sensor transforms the temperature to complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) frequency and then into digital code. A CTAT voltage reference supplies a temperature-sensitive ring oscillator, which enhances temperature sensitivity and conversion rate. To reduce the supply sensitivity, an operational amplifier with a unity gain for power supply is proposed. A frequency-to-digital converter with piecewise linear fitting is used to convert the frequency into the digital code corresponding to temperature and correct nonlinearity. These additional characteristics are distinct from the conventional oscillator-based temperature sensors. The sensor is fabricated in a 180[Formula: see text]nm CMOS process and occupies a small area of 0.048[Formula: see text]mm2 excluding bondpads. After a one-point calibration, the sensor achieves an inaccuracy of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]1.5[Formula: see text]C from [Formula: see text]45[Formula: see text]C to 85[Formula: see text]C under a supply voltage of 1.4–2.4[Formula: see text]V showing a worst-case supply sensitivity of 0.5[Formula: see text]C/V. The sensor maintains a high conversion rate of 45[Formula: see text]KS/s with a fine resolution of 0.25[Formula: see text]C/LSB, which is suitable for SoC thermal monitoring. Under a supply voltage of 1.8[Formula: see text]V, the maximum energy consumption per conversion is only 7.8[Formula: see text]nJ at [Formula: see text]45[Formula: see text]C.

The development of optical fibre temperature indicator using epoxy glue as a detection membrane is presented. This study, investigates the effects of epoxy glue from the reaction of epoxy resin, bisphenol A (BPA) (80-05-7) and adhesive epichlorohydrine (ECH) (106-89-8) as a temperature indicator membrane. In this work the response of epoxy glue to excitation source 395 nm is tested and analyzed under cryogenic conditions. A fiber optic temperature sensor for detecting ambient temperature ranging from 15 °C to 80 °C has been examined. The epoxy glue fluoresce when excited with UV-blue light source. The intensity of the fluorescence of the material decreases when the epoxy glue is exposed to an environment of higher temperature. These decrease level of fluorescence signal has been used to indicate temperature. In this paper, the basic principle of operation, development process and emission response characteristics of this sensor are discussed.
