Abstract
A temperature sensor that can be used in semiconductor devices includes a reference voltage generator for dividing a power supply voltage and outputting a reference voltage, a compare voltage generator for outputting compare voltages with different levels depending on a change of a control signal, a temperature voltage generator for generating a temperature voltage based on the reference voltage and a threshold voltage of a MOS transistor, and a comparator for comparing an amplified temperature voltage and the compare voltage.
