Abstract

Integrated circulatory (IC) sensors are becoming popular to monitor body temperatures. Traditional temperature techniques, such as thermocouples, thermistors, and RDTs are being displaced by silicon sensors with their ease of integration and use. Many traditional sensors types are inherently nonlinear and require signal conditioning to accurately convert temperature into an electrically measurable quantity such as voltage or current. The IC sensors as well as traditional sensors are briefly reviewed.
