3. The V
Temperature Measurement Method
the negative temperature coefficient of a diode, measuring
the base−emitter voltage (VBE) of a transistor operated at
constant current. Unfortunately, this technique requires
calibration to null out the effect of the absolute value of
VBE, which varies from device to device.
measures the change in VBE when the device is operated at
three different currents. Previous devices have used only
two operating currents, but the use of a third current allows
automatic cancellation of resistances in series with the
external temperature sensor.

ADC Output

measure the output of an external temperature sensor. This
figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, but
it could equally be a discrete transistor. If a discrete
transistor is used, the collector is not grounded and should
be linked to the base. To prevent ground noise from
interfering with the measurement, the more negative
terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground, but is
biased above ground by an internal diode at the D− input. C1
can optionally be added as a noise filter (recommended
maximum value 1000 pF). However, a better option in noisy
environments is to add a filter, as described in the Noise
Filtering section.
