一個離子感測場效電晶體的pH計是由離子感測場效電晶體感測器、離子感測場效電晶體讀出電路、溫度讀出電路、微控器所編譯的數位類比轉換器和顯示結果的液晶顯示器所組成。離子感測場效電晶體感測器和溫度感測器可分別地量測液體的pH值及溫度。溫度感測器及溫度讀出電路是基於微控器基礎的pH計的部份系統。在pH計讀取時，兩者提供的溫度感測可根據溫度效應作自動補償。此研究提出基於CMOS技術下所製成的一個具有讀出電路的溫度感測器。
溫度感測器包含了兩個元素，一個和絕對溫度成比例的產生器，和一個緩衝操作放大器。運作在單輸入電源下，實現並且積體化於TSMC 0.35 um 2P4M CMOS製程。晶片面積為 357.3 um 乘上135.05 um，平均功耗在一般狀況下為495.4615 uW。溫度感測器操作的解析度為 5mV/oC為了取得穩定的輸出電壓, 響應時間為10ns。在佈局之前的模擬及佈局之後的模擬顯示在0oC到100oC皆有線性的轉換反應。在此篇論文中已提出CMOS感測器的設計及模擬結果。
溫度讀出電路是由帶差參考電路所組成，利用在0oC時校正為0.25V，介面電路由一個緩衝器和差動放大器所組成。此電路輸出解析度為25mV/oC。

An ISFET pH meter is composed of an ISFET sensor, an ISFET readout circuit, a temperature sensor, a temperature readout circuit, a microcontroller with a built in ADC and a LCD for displaying results. The ISFET sensor and temperature sensor measure the pH and the temperature of the solution respectively. The temperature sensor and temperature readout circuit serve as an integral part of microcontroller-based ISFET pH meter system. Both provide temperature monitoring for the automatic compensation of temperature effects on pH meter readings. This study presents a temperature sensor with a readout circuit using CMOS technology.
The temperature sensor consists of two elements, a Proportional to Absolute Temperature (PTAT) generator, and a buffer operational amplifier. It was implemented in an integrated circuit based on TSMC 0.35 µm 2P4M CMOS technology that operates on a single rail 3.3V power supply. Its core area is 357.3µm by 135.05µm and has an average power dissipation of 495.4614 µW in typical case. The temperature sensor operates with a resolution of 5mV/oC and the response time in order to get a stable output voltage is 10ns. Pre-layout and post-layout simulations showed a linear transfer response from 0oC to 100oC. The CMOS sensor design and simulation results are presented in details in this thesis.
The temperature read-out circuit is composed of a bandgap reference which is used to calibrate the 0oC response to 0.25V, and an interface circuitry composed of buffers and a differential amplifer. The circuit has an output resolution of 25mV/oC.
