This circuit only measures the difference in temperature not the absolute temperature of either diode. How could you use the temperature dependence of a simple diode circuit like this to determine the actual temperature of the sense diode ( i.e. relative to absolute zero )?\\ | This circuit only measures the difference in temperature not the absolute temperature of either diode.
