(I made a red circle around it)
What does it represent?

What does it represent?
The diagram on page 631 of the user guide has it labeled "Temp. Sensor".
This is the internal Block Diagram for the SD24_A ADC, but it's almost functionally the same for the other ADC Types
I've seen varactor symbols that look similar, but they always have two parallel lines at the top of the triangle. A triangle pointing upwards can also be used to represent a power plane, but that doesn't make sense due to both it's location, the line through it, and the current source directly above it.
Is there a legend somewhere in the document that might explain it? Also, if we had an image of the entire schematic someone might be able to piece together what it might be.
