A 225 μm ${}^{2}$ Probe Single-Point Calibration Digital Temperature Sensor Using Body-Bias Adjustment in 28 nm FD-SOI CMOS

An embedded digital temperature sensor based on a single-ended probe is implemented in a 28 nm fully depleted siliconon-insulator process. The nMOS-only ring-oscillator probe uses singlepoint calibration based on body-bias tuning of its well for process compensation. Nonlinearity compensation is implemented on-chip in custom digital logic, resulting in an area-efficient (225 μm
