DIODE THERMOMETER Objective:
Design a simple electronic thermometer using the temperature characteristics of a diode.
Specifications: The temperature range is to be 0 to 100 ◦F. Design Approach: We will use the forward-bias diode temperature characteristics as shown in Figure 1.20. If the diode current is held constant, the variation in diode voltage is a function of temperature.
Choices: Assume that a silicon pn junction diode with a reverse-saturation current of I_{S} = 10^{−13} A at T = 300 K is available.
