  • Patent number: 9664571
    Abstract: An integrated temperature sensor device has a temperature sensor providing an analog signal corresponding to an ambient temperature, an analog-to-digital converter coupled to the sensor conditioning circuit and receiving the analog temperature signal, and a timer and control circuit which is operable to be configured to control the temperature sensor device to perform a sequence of temperature measurements and shut-down time periods, wherein multiple temperature measurements are taken during the measurement period, wherein the timer and control circuit is further operable to be programmed to set the number of temperature measurements and the length of the shut-down period.

  • Publication number: 20050248409
    Abstract: A selectable gain amplifier in a standard integrated circuit package configuration comprises an amplifier having an analog input, an output and a control input for selecting one of two or three possible gains for the operational amplifier. A plurality of selectable gain amplifiers may be in a standard integrated circuit package configuration, each having a gain control input for selection of the two or three possible gains. The gain control input replaces an inverting input of a standard operational amplifier and the analog input is the a non-inverting input of the operational amplifier or visa-versa. All other characteristics of the selectable gain amplifier may be the same or similar to a standard operational amplifier. The selectable gain amplifier(s) may be packaged in industry standard integrated circuit packages having standard pin-outs so that they may be compatible as replacement analog amplifiers for existing technology operational amplifier integrated circuit packages.
