Abstract: A sensor temperature compensation circuit that includes a sensor and non-linear temperature compensation circuit that compensates for non-linear temperature dependencies in offset and/or gain generated by the sensor. For instance, to at least partially compensate for offset temperature dependencies, a summer adds two offset compensation signals, the ratio of the second to the first being a function of temperature. The summed signal may then be multiplied by a function of temperature. The summed signal may then be used to provide the non-linear temperature compensation to the offset. Alternatively or in addition, to at least partially compensate for gain temperature dependencies, a summer adds two gain compensation signals, the ratio of the second to the first being a function of temperature. The summed signal may then be multiplied by a function of temperature. The summed signal may then be used to provide non-linear temperature compensation to the gain.

Abstract: Calibration of a sensor circuit that includes a sensor, a temperature measurement circuit and a signal processing path. The sensor senses a physical parameter to be measured and generates an electrical sensor output signal representing the physical parameter. The temperature measurement circuit outputs a measured temperature. The signal processing path is coupled to the sensor so as to receive the electrical sensor output signal and use the measured temperature to compensate for temperature variations in the electrical sensor output signal. During calibration, the output voltage of the signal processing path is measured at multiple temperatures, and at multiple values of the physical parameter being measured at each temperature while the signal processing path is disconnected from using the measured temperature of the temperature measurement circuit.
