title = "A delay line with highly linear thermal sensitivity for smart temperature sensor",
abstract = "A highly linear thermal sensitivity delay line for smart temperature sensor is presented. The proposed delay line is a current starved inverter chain. A simple bias current source circuit is incorporated with the delay line to generate a current inversely proportional to temperature based on the transconductance characteristics of a MOS device at the vicinity of the zero temperature coefficient (ZTC) point. Simulation results in a 0.18μm CMOS technology show that the proposed delay line has a higher linearity within 0.24 °C in a wider temperature range from -40°C to 120°C compared with conventional structures.",
