ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,313,476, issued on May 27, was assigned to Microchip Technology Inc. (Chandler, Ariz.).

"Temperature sensor integrated in a transistor array" was invented by Sonu Daryanani (Tempe, Ariz.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A temperature sensor integrated in a transistor array, e.g., metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) array, is provided. The integrated temperature sensor may include a doped well region formed in a substrate (e.g., SiC substrate), a resistor gate formed over the doped well region, first and second sensor terminals conductively coupled to the doped well region on opposite sides of the resistor gate.
