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.

Abstract Temperature change is one of key factors which should be taken into account in logistics during transportation or storage of many types of goods. In this study, a passive UHF RFID-enabled sensor system for elevated temperature (above 58°C) detection has been demonstrated. This system consists of an RFID reader and disposable temperature sensor comprising an UHF antenna, chip and temperature sensitive unit. The UHF antenna was designed and simulated in an IE3D software. The properties of the system were examined depending on the temperature level, type of package which contains the studied objects and the type of antenna substrate.

Abstract This paper presented a high-sensitivity temperature sensor based on photonic crystal fiber fully coated with gold and PDMS films. For the convenience of production, gold film is coated outside the fiber cladding, and it is used to excite the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect. In addition, the temperature response has been effectively improved by depositing poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer outside the gold film. This fully coated structure on the outside of PCF enables temperature-sensitive medium to be in direct contact with the environment, which reduces the difficulty of internal coating and filling. The influences of the parameters on the sensing characteristics are investigated by using the finite element method (FEM). Simulation results show that the average temperature sensitivity is up to 9.287 nm/℃ in the range of -20℃-40℃. Moreover, compared with other designs, the optimized process of structure in this study provides an effective method, which shows a wide application prospect to overcome the difficulty of filling liquid in the air holes.

Thermal-resistance temperature sensors generally employ temperature-sensitive materials as active layers, which are always deposited on a flexible substrate to improve flexibility. Such a temperature sensor is usually integrated in wearable devices with other sensors, such as pressure sensors and stretchable sensors. In prior works, the temperature and pressure sensors are usually located in different layers in a multifunction sensor, which results in a complicated fabrication process, as well as a large thickness of devices. Meanwhile, many temperature sensors are based on large areas of non-transparent materials, leading to difficulties in integrating display applications. In this paper, we demonstrate a flexible temperature sensor based on polyaniline/graphene (GPANI)–polyvinyl butyral (PVB) thin film and indium tin oxides (ITO)- polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The GPANI particles embedded in PVB film not only contribute to temperature detection, but also response to external pressures, due to weak deformations. In addition, the thin composite film (2.7 μm) highly improved the transparency. By optimizing the device structure, the sensor integrates temperature and pressure detection into one single layer, which shows a wide temperature range of 25–80 °C, a pressure range of 0–30 kPa, and a high transparency (>80%). The temperature sensor offers great potential for applications in emerging wearable devices and electronic skins.
