MOLINAR SOLIS, Jesús E. et al. Hybrid Algorithm for Using Bipolar Junction Transistors as Primary Thermometers. Comp. y Sist. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.1, pp.49-53.  Epub Sep 27, 2021. ISSN 2007-9737.  https://doi.org/10.13053/cys-24-1-3232.

This work introduces a novel hybrid algorithm, which allows computing the absolute temperature of a bipolar transistor device in thermal equilibrium for sensing ambient temperature. The proposed idea relies on the measured current-voltage characteristics of the device and it can be implemented in any computing platform. Experimental data obtained, using a broad collection of commercial devices, demonstrates the accuracy of the proposed algorithm.

Keywords : Thermometer; temperature; bipolar junction transistor.
