Categorization and Characterization of Time Domain CMOS Temperature Sensors

Time domain complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) temperature sensors estimate the temperature of a sensory device by measuring the frequency, period and/or delay time instead of the voltage and/or current signals that have been traditionally measured for a long time. In this paper, the tim...
