  • Patent number: 10439635
    Abstract: An analog-to-digital conversion method and an A/D conversion device for a temperature sensor are provided. An analog front-end circuit generates an A/D converter input signal positively correlated to a temperature and an A/D converter reference voltage signal negatively correlated to the temperature, and an operation is performed on a ratio of amplitudes of the generated signals to obtain a quantized output value. Since the amplitude of the A/D converter input signal is less than that of the A/D converter reference voltage signal, measurements on other signals is compatible with the measurement on the temperature in a multi-sensor system. A digitized output value is calculated by a digital-assisted readout method to generate a linear output relating to a temperature, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature measurement and reducing complexity of analog circuit design.
