Claim 7:
8. A method of periodically measuring a temperature proximate to a circuit, the method comprising:
periodically applying voltages across a temperature sensitive diode wherein the voltages includes a first voltage (V1), second voltage (V2), and a third voltage (V3);
measuring a first measured voltage (VD1), second measured voltage (VD2), and a third measured voltage (VD3) corresponding to the first voltage (V1), second voltage (V2), and third voltage respectively (V3), respectively; and
determining the temperature proximate to the circuit based on the first voltage (V1), second voltage (V2), third voltage (V3), first measured voltage (VD1), second measured voltage (VD2), and third measured voltage (VD3).
