Abstract
An apparatus for temperature sensing may include: a bias generator suitable for generating a complementary-to-absolute-temperature (CTAT) bias voltage; a regulator suitable for regulating a bias voltage by using CTAT bias voltage and outputting a regulated bias voltage; and a ring oscillator suitable for receiving the regulated bias voltage and generating an oscillation signal based on the regulated bias voltage.
