It is intended to monitor the excess heat produced during the wireless charging of implantable medical devices such as pacemakers. The TDC is designed to achieve an accuracy of ±0.1 °C (3 sigma) from 27 °C to 47 °C, and ±0.3 °C (3 sigma) from -40 °C to 85 °C after a 1-point trim. It also achieves a resolution of 0.01 °C at 10 Sa/s. The low power consumption (155 nW) is made possible by the implementation of a self-biasing BJT-core. Its low power consumption, accuracy, and resolution make it ideally suited for clinical temperature monitoring.
