Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, there is manufacturing variation in the current gain of multiple bipolar transistors in a Darlington compound circuit and thus the emitter current variation
Therefore the base-emitter voltage of the bipolar transistor varies, so the output voltage of the temperature sensor circuit varies thereby reducing its accuracy
