Claim 8:
9. The temperature sensor of claim 7, wherein when the first switch, the third switch, the fourth switch, and the fifth switch are activated and the second switch is deactivated, (i) the switching circuit operates in a third state, (ii) the second current passes through the sensing element such that the sensing element outputs the second CTAT voltage and the fourth current, and (iii) the fourth current passes through the load such that the third load voltage is generated across the load, and wherein when the second switch, the third switch, and the fourth switch are activated and the first switch and the fifth switch are deactivated, (i) the switching circuit operates in a fourth state and (ii) the second current passes through the load such that the fourth load voltage is generated across the load.
