8.4. Temperature Sensor
An analog temperature sensor is integrated into the chip. The temperature sensor will be automatically enabled
when the temperature sensor is selected as the input of the ADC or when the analog temp voltage is selected on
the analog test bus. The temperature sensor value may be digitized using the general-purpose ADC and read out
over the SPI through "Register 10h. ADC Sensor Amplifier Offset". The range of the temperature sensor is
selectable to configure to the desired application and performance. The table below demonstrates the settings for
the different temperature ranges and performance.
To use the Temp Sensor:
1. Set input for ADC to be Temperature Sensor, "Register 0Fh. ADC Configuration"—adcsel[2:0] = 000
2. Set Reference for ADC, "Register 0Fh. ADC Configuration"—adcref[1:0] = 00
3. Set Temperature Range for ADC, "Register 12h. Temperature Sensor Calibration"—tsrange[1:0]
4. Set entsoffs = 1, "Register 12h. Temperature Sensor Calibration"
5. Trigger ADC Reading, "Register 0Fh. ADC Configuration"—adcstart = 1
6. Read-out Value—Read Address in "Register 11h. ADC Value"
Control to adjust the temperature sensor accuracy is available by adjusting the bandgap voltage. By enabling the
envbgcal and using the vbgcal[3:0] bits to trim the bandgap the temperature sensor accuracy may be fine tuned in
the final application. The slope of the temperature sensor is very linear and monotonic but the exact accuracy or
offset in temperature is difficult to control better than ±10 °C. With the vbgtrim or bandgap trim though the initial
temperature offset can be easily adjusted and be better than ±3 °C.
The different ranges for the temperature sensor and ADC8 are demonstrated in Figure 21. The value of the ADC8
may be translated to a temperature reading by ADC8Value x ADC8 LSB + Lowest Temperature in Temp Range.
For instance for a tsrange = 00, Temp = ADC8Value x 0.5 – 64.
