A temperature sensing circuit includes first, second and third proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) units, and first and second subtracters. The first PTAT unit generates a first output voltage based on a reference current and a current of N times the reference current, where N is an emitter current density ratio. The second PTAT unit generates a second output voltage based on a current of twice the reference current and a current of 2N times the reference current. The third PTAT unit generates a third output voltage based on the reference current and a current of N times the reference current. The first subtracter performs subtraction on the second output voltage and the third output voltage, and the second subtracter performs subtraction on an output voltage of the first subtracter and the first output voltage.
