Abstract
A temperature sensor () comprises an electrical circuit () including a thermistor () intended to be placed next to an object (); a temperature measurement module () configured for determining a measured temperature (T_M) of the thermistor () from a resistance of the thermistor (); and a command module () configured for providing a command (C) to the electrical circuit () for modifying the electrical circuit () in a way that changes a current (IT) flowing in the thermistor (). The temperature sensor () further comprises a thermal loss determination module () configured for determining a thermal loss (L) of the thermistor () from the thermistor measured temperature (T_M) and the command (C); and a temperature estimation module () configured for estimating a temperature (T_E) of the object () from the thermistor measured temperature (T_M) and from the thermal loss (L) of the thermistor (TH).
