The present invention is a random access memory device including a temperature
sensing circuit, and method of using the same. The temperature sensing circuit
includes a first and a second comparator. Each comparator is configured to receive
a sense voltage that is indicative of a sensed temperature. A first temperature
reference circuit having a plurality of first reference voltages is coupled to
the first comparator. The plurality of first reference voltages are alternately
compared with the sense voltage. A second temperature reference circuit having
a plurality of second reference voltages is coupled to the second comparator. The
plurality of second reference voltages are alternately compared with the sense
voltage. A first trimmer is coupled to the first temperature reference circuit.
A second trimmer coupled to the second temperature reference circuit. The first
and second trimmers are independently adjustable to adjust the plurality of first
and second reference voltages.
