  • Publication number: 20140198820
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an auto-ranging temperature sensor are provided. In at least one embodiment, a system for sensing and measuring temperature comprises at least one analog signal amplifier that generates an amplified analog signal output based on an analog signal from at least one of a biased thermistor circuit and a calibration circuit and a digital to analog converter that generates an analog offset signal as an input to the at least one analog signal amplifier, wherein the analog offset signal shifts the amplified analog signal within an analog to digital converter input operating range when the amplified analog signal is equal to or greater than a limit of the analog to digital converter input operating range, wherein the analog offset signal is determined based on the magnitude of the amplified analog signal.
