4.19  DIGITAL-OUTPUT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
An on-chip temperature sensor and ADC are used to measure the ICM-20948 die temperature. The readings from the 
ADC can be read from the FIFO or the Sensor Data registers. 
4.20  BIAS AND LDOS 
The bias and LDO section generates the internal supply and the reference voltages and currents required by the ICM-
20948. Its two inputs are an unregulated VDD and a VDDIO logic reference supply voltage. The LDO output is bypassed 
by a capacitor at REGOUT. For further details on the capacitor, please refer to the Bill of Materials for External 
Components. 
4.21  CHARGE PUMP 
An on-chip charge pump generates the high voltage required for the MEMS oscillators.
