A − 40 to 250 °C Triple Modular Redundancy Temperature Sensor for Turbofan Engines
Résumé
Turbofan engines using distributed control architecture require sensors and electronic instrumentation located in the engine compartment to simplify system design, improve reliability, and ease signal multiplexing. Designing a wide range temperature sensor which works reliably regardless of process variation can be extremely challenging. Using a bandgap-like topology with PiN diodes as the sensing element, this work proposes a -40 to 250 °C temperature sensor in the IMS 0.35 μm SOI technology. To circumvent the process variation challenge, a triple modular redundancy is proposed for the sensing element combined with a weighted voter and digital circuitry calibration. The proposed sensing element supplies the analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) with a V REF having a typical-mean temperature coefficient of 62 ppm/°C, 24 ppm/°C for the best corner, and 213 ppm/°C for the worst corner. An average VCTAT sensitivity is estimated at 0.282 mV/°C among all corners. After a 2-point temperature calibration, the ADC quantization step presented a negligible variation over temperature, approximately 1.0 mV among all corners, assuring a 0.28 °C of temperature inaccuracy.
