Abstract
A circuit for implementing a multifunction output generator is described. The circuit comprises an amplifier circuit having a first input and a second input; a voltage generator coupled at a first node to a first input of the amplifier circuit; a controllable current source configured to provide a variable current to the first node; and a switching circuit enabling the operation of the amplifier circuit in a first mode for sensing a temperature and a second mode for providing a reference voltage. A method of implementing a multifunction output generator is described.
