1. A fluid flow sensor arrangement comprising:

  • a micro electromechanical systems fabricated fluid flow sensor die having a fluid flow sensor;

    a temperature sensor formed in available space on the die; and

    a temperature compensation circuit formed in available space on the die and connected to the temperature sensor and to an output of the fluid flow sensor; and

    wherein;

    the output of the fluid flow sensor indicates a magnitude of a flow of fluid through the flow sensor; and

    changes of the magnitude of the flow of fluid indicated at output of the flow sensor due to a temperature of the die are compensated with the temperature compensation circuit.
