Thermistor
shows the thermistor temperature calculation flowchart.
Figure 5-9. Thermistor Flowchart
The flowchart involves conversion of thermistor resistance to temperature. This is done using the
thermistor calculator component. The component supports both LUT and the Steinhart-Hart equa-
tion, and provides an API for converting resistance to temperature.
Read Vssa Ref voltage for CDS
Read voltage across thermistor
(Vt) and perform offset
cancellation(CDS)
Calculate thermistor resistance
from Vref and Vt
Calculate temperature from the
thermistor resistance
Read voltage across thermistor
reference resistor (Vref) and
perform offset cancellation(CDS)
