Patent abstract
Various embodiments provide systems and methods measuring the temperature of a device using a semiconductor temperature sensor, such as a diode. This invention allows the use of an uncalibrated diode to be used as a temperature sensor by applying a sinusoidally varying forcing current to the diode and measuring the rate of change of the voltage across the diode. Embodiments advantageously provide for a rapid, responsive temperature measuring, substantially eliminating the effect of lead resistance associated with the temperature sensor.
