ABSTRACT:
An on die thermal sensor (ODTS) for use in a semiconductor memory device includes: a temperature information code generation unit for sensing an internal temperature of the semiconductor memory device in response to first and second enable signals and for generating a temperature information code which includes the sensed temperature information; and a flag signal logic determination unit for generating a plurality of first flag signals having temperature information and determining whether the plurality of first flag signals have a predetermined logic level or a variable logic level in response to the first and second enable signals.
