Abstract
In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes: a switched capacitor coupled between a supply voltage node and a divider node, where a thermistor external to the integrated circuit is to couple to the divider node; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the divider node to receive a voltage at the divider node and generate a digital value based thereon; and a controller coupled to the ADC to determine a temperature associated with the thermistor based at least in part on the digital value.
