Abstract
A temperature sensing apparatus and a temperature sensing method thereof are provided. A current source circuit provides a test current to a temperature sensing load, and the temperature sensing load generates a test voltage in response to the test current. A processing circuit determines a type of the temperature sensing load according to the test voltage, and determines a temperature according to the type of the temperature sensing load and a temperature sensing voltage generated by the temperature sensing load.
