Abstract
A trimmed thermal sensing system can include a temperature sensitive circuit configured to provide an output that varies as a function of temperature and in response to a trimmed bandgap reference signal. A trim network is coupled to the temperature sensitive circuit. The trim network trims the temperature sensitive circuit in an opposite direction of trimming implemented to provide the trimmed bandgap reference signal, such that temperature tolerance of the temperature sensitive circuit is reduced.
