Abstract

A thermally-isolated-metal-oxide-semiconducting (TMOS) sensor has inputs coupled to first and second nodes to receive first and second bias currents, and an output coupled to a third node. A tail has a first conduction terminal coupled to the third node and a second conduction terminal coupled to a reference voltage. A control circuit applies a control signal to a control terminal of the tail transistor based upon voltages at the first and second nodes so that a common mode voltage at the first and second nodes is equal to a reference common mode voltage. A differential current integrator has a first input terminal coupled to the second node and a second input terminal coupled to the first node, and provides an output voltage indicative of an integral of a difference between a first output current at the first input terminal and a second output current at the second input terminal.
