ABSTRACT:
In an exemplary embodiment, a MEMS sensor using a passive temperature compensation technique may provide an uncompensated sense output. Additionally, a circuit coupled to the MEMS sensor may include a diode having a voltage drop. A compensated sense output may be formed by combining the uncompensated sense output with a diode output that is proportional to the voltage drop across the diode.
