Digital-output temperature sensor, circuit device, and oscillator
The digital-output temperature sensor includes a temperature sensor circuit, a current mirror circuit which makes a mirror current of a temperature detection current flow and pulls in a mirror current of a reference current to thereby output a first difference current from a first output node and output a second difference current from a second output node, a chopping circuit, and an A/D conversion circuit. The chopping circuit performs a chopping operation of making the mirror current of the reference current flow in a second state through a transistor of the current mirror circuit through which the mirror current of the temperature detection current flows in a first state, and making the mirror current of the temperature detection current flow in the second state through the transistor of the current mirror circuit through which the mirror current of the reference current flows in the first state.
