Distributed Thermal Sensor (DTS) Deep NWELL, TSMC N5 The highly granular DTS offers a significant area reduction in comparison to some standard in-chip thermal sensor solutions and supports high accuracy measurement across a wide temperature range at enhanced conversion speeds. Thermal activity can be unpredictable and if not monitored carefully can cause over-heating and excessive power consumption which in turn impacts device longevity. The ability to make precise thermal measurements beside or within CPU cores, high speed interfaces or highly active circuitry has become a mandatory requirement for devices used within a range of application areas.
