Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A system comprising:
one or more memory dice;
a diode having a threshold voltage that changes with temperature;
an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled with the one or more memory dice, the ADC comprising:
a voltage comparator having a positive terminal coupled with the diode;
a first capacitor coupled between a negative terminal of the voltage comparator and ground;
a first switch coupled with the first capacitor;
a second switch coupled between the first switch and a voltage reference node; and
a second capacitor connected between the first switch and the second switch, the second capacitor also coupled with the ground;

a pulse generator coupled with the ADC, the pulse generator to generate pulses that are to close the first switch, causing the first capacitor and the second capacitor to equalize charge; and
an inverter coupled between the pulse generator and the second switch, the inverter to output an inverted signal that is to close the second switch, causing the second capacitor to be pre-charged via the voltage reference node.
