  • Thermoelectric temperature sensing system in a computer hard disc drive
    Patent number: 6088662
    Abstract: A temperature sensing system for use in a computer disc drive comprises a themoelectric sensor having an output sensor voltage which is variable as a function of temperature, an interface circuit adapted to receive the output sensor voltage from the thermoelectric sensor and adapted to generate a scaled and level-shifted analog output voltage signal, and an analog-to-digital converter circuit adapted to receive the analog output signal voltage from the interface circuit and convert the analog output signal voltage into a digital signal which is compared to various defined thresholds.
