The proposed design is featured with a temperature range selection circuit so that the thermistor linear circuit automatically switches to a corresponding calibration loop in light of the temperature range besides the analysis of the calibration method. It resolves the problem that the temperature range of a single thermistor temperature sensor is too small. Notably, the output of the proposed design also attains a high linearity. The measurement results in a thermal chamber justifying that the output voltage is 1.96 V to 4.15 V, the maximum linearity error \u22641.4%, and the worst temperature error \u22641.1 \u00b0C in the temperature range of \u22125 \u00b0C to 120 \u00b0C.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18072165","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,5]],"date-time":"2018-07-05T10:52:44Z","timestamp":1530787964000},"page":"2165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A High-Precision CMOS Temperature Sensor with Thermistor Linear Calibration in the (\u22125 \u00b0C, 120 \u00b0C) Temperature Range"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2426-2879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chua-Chin","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Zong-You","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Jhih-Cheng","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"A verification method of thermo-infrared remote sensing temperature retrieval algorithm with a CFD model","volume":"1","author":"Zhang","year":"2018","journal-title":"Am.
