Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, a temperature sensor includes: a voltage generating part generating (2N−1)-midpoint voltages (N is a natural number equal to or larger than 2) based on a reference voltage which does not depend on a temperature; a sense part generating a temperature sensing voltage which depends on the temperature; and an arithmetic part is configured to generate N-bit temperature data by executing first to N-th operations each comparing the temperature sensing voltage with one of the (2N−1)-midpoint voltages.
