| 20080259990 | TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT AND CALIBRATION METHOD THEREOF - A temperature sensor circuit comprises a first monitor voltage generation circuit that generates a first monitor voltage with a characteristic that changes with respect to temperature; a second monitor voltage generation circuit that generates a second monitor voltage with a characteristic that changes by a variation amount different from the first monitor voltage with respect to the temperature; and a differential amplifier circuit, to which the first and second monitor voltages are inputted and that outputs the result of comparing the two voltages. Further, the differential amplifier circuit of the temperature sensor circuit is capable of switching to a first connection state, which outputs the comparison result, and to a second connection state, which outputs an offset monitor voltage that is rendered by adding the offset voltage of the differential amplifier circuit to the first or second monitor voltage or subtracting the offset voltage therefrom. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090039950 | INTERNAL POWER-SUPPLY CIRCUIT - An internal power-supply circuit generates an internal voltage based on a reference voltage, and has an external-power-supply terminal to which an external power-supply voltage having a first potential is applied during a normal operation and an external power-supply voltage having a second potential that is higher than the first potential is applied during a burn-in acceleration test, a reference-voltage generating unit for generating the reference voltage from the external power-supply voltage, and an internal-voltage generating unit for generating the internal voltage based on the reference voltage. The reference-voltage generating unit generates, during the normal operation, a normal reference voltage that is independent of the potential of the external power-supply voltage and generates, during the burn-in acceleration test, a first burn-in reference voltage that is dependent on the potential of the external power-supply voltage and a second burn-in reference voltage that has the same potential as the normal reference voltage. | 02-12-2009 |
