Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method of measuring a temperature, the method comprising:
applying a first set of voltages across a circuit in sequence, wherein the circuit comprises a diode and a resistor in series, wherein the first set of voltages includes a first applied voltage (V1), a second applied voltage (V2), and a third applied voltage (V3);
detecting a second set of voltages across the said diode corresponding to the first set of voltages, wherein the second set of voltages includes a first detected voltage (VD1), a second detected voltage (VD2), and a third detected voltage (VD3), wherein the first applied voltage (V1) corresponds to the first detected voltage (VD1), the second applied voltage (V2) corresponds to the second detected voltage (VD2), and a third applied voltage (V3) corresponds to the third detected voltage (VD3); and
determining a temperature proximate to the diode based on the first set of voltages and the second set of voltages.
