Abstract

A temperature sensing circuit includes a current source circuit, a resistor, a bandgap voltage generation circuit, a voltage-equalizing circuit and a temperature determining circuit. The current source circuit has a first current output terminal and a second current output terminal. The bandgap voltage generation circuit includes a pair of bipolar junction transistors. The voltage-equalizing circuit equalizes voltages of a first current output terminal and the second current output terminal. The temperature determining circuit includes a sampling capacitor and a calculation circuit. The sampling capacitor samples a first voltage of a first terminal of the resistor and a second voltage of a second terminal of the resistor. The calculation circuit generates a temperature value by calculating a voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.
