Abstract
Provided is a temperature sensor device operable at a lower voltage. The temperature sensor device detects temperature based on an output voltage of a forward voltage generator for generating a forward voltage of a PN junction. The forward voltage generator includes a level shift voltage generation circuit, and an output voltage of the temperature sensor device is given based on the forward voltage of the PN junction and a voltage of the level shift voltage generation circuit.
