Abstract:
A sensor circuit and integrated circuit having the same is disclosed. In one embodiment, a sensor circuit includes first and second ring oscillators having different circuit topologies. A first counter is coupled to receive an output signal from the first ring oscillator, while a second counter is coupled to receive an output signal from the second ring oscillator. The sensor circuit further includes a local clock circuit that provides a clock signal to the first and second counters. Furthermore, the local clock circuit is coupled to provide the clock signal exclusively to circuitry within the sensor circuit, the circuitry including the first and second counters.

Claim (Index 1):
A circuit comprising:\n a sensor circuit configured to sense a local voltage and a local temperature, wherein the sensor circuit includes:\n a first ring oscillator having a first circuit topology; \n a first counter coupled to receive a first output signal from the first ring oscillator, wherein the first counter is configured to determine a frequency of the first output signal; \n a second ring oscillator having a second circuit topology different from the first circuit topology; \n a second counter coupled to receive a second output signal from the second ring oscillator, wherein the second counter is configured to determine a frequency of the second output signal; \n a local clock circuit configured to provide a clock signal exclusively to circuitry within the sensor circuit including the first and second counters; and \n a shift register coupled to receive the clock signal from the local clock circuit, and further coupled to receive a first count value from the first counter and a second count value from the second counter.
