| The '''silicon bandgap temperature sensor''' is an extremely common form of temperature sensor ([[thermometer]]) used in electronic equipment. Its main advantage is that it can be included in a silicon [[integrated circuit]] at very low cost. The principle of the sensor is that the forward voltage of a [[silicon]] [[diode]] is temperature-dependent, according to the following equation:

| By comparing the bandgap voltages at two different currents, ''I''<sub>C1</sub> and ''I''<sub>C2</sub>, many of the variables in the above equation can be eliminated, resulting in the relationship:

| :<math>\Delta V_{BE}=\frac{KT}{q}\cdot\ln\left(\frac{I_{C1}}{I_{C2}}\right) \,</math>

| |
| An electronic circuit, such as the [[Brokaw bandgap reference]], that measures Δ''V''<sub>''BE''</sub> can therefore be used to calculate the temperature of the diode. The result remains valid up to about 200 °C to 250 °C, when leakage currents become large enough to corrupt the measurement. Above these temperatures, materials such as [[silicon carbide]] can be used instead of silicon.

| The voltage difference between two [[p–n junction|p-n junctions]] (e.g. [[diode]]s), operated at different current densities, is '''p'''roportional '''t'''o '''a'''bsolute '''t'''emperature (PTAT).
| |
| | |
| PTAT circuits using either BJT or CMOS transistors are widely used in temperature sensors (where we want the output to vary with temperature), and also in bandgap voltage references and other temperature-compensating circuits (where we want the same output at every temperature).<ref name="bryant"/><ref>

| If high precision is not required it is enough to bias a diode with any constant low current and use its −2 mV/˚C thermal coefficient for temperature calculation, however this requires calibration for each diode type. This method is common in monolithic temperature sensors.[citation required]
