Abstract

See full text

A method for calibrating a temperature sensor comprises: receiving first and second reference voltages from respective first and second tap points within a string of sequentially connected resistive devices of the temperature sensor. Each resistive device has a resistance that varies as a function of temperature. The receiving is performed at two or more known temperatures. A respective code is output corresponding to each respective one of the two or more known temperatures, based on the first and second reference voltages. At least one of the tap points is adjusted, based on the two or more known temperatures and the respective output codes.
