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