ABSTRACT:
Temperature detectors include a temperature sensor that is configured to generate temperature tracking signals that indicate that a detected temperature is above, below or in a temperature range that corresponds to a selected one of a series of temperature control signals that indicate a series of temperature ranges. A control circuit is configured to sequentially supply the selected one of the series of control signals to the temperature sensor in response to the temperature tracking signals. The series of temperature control signals may indicate a series of overlapping temperature ranges, such that the temperature detector has a hysteresis characteristic. Analogous methods also may be provided.
