The temperature sensor is calibrated using the internal voltage references. Each reference voltage (1.2 V,
1.45 V, or 2.5 V) contains a measured value for two temperatures, 30°C ±3°C and 85°C ±3°C, stored in
the TLV structure.
shows the characteristic equation of the temperature sensor voltage, in
millivolts.
where
•
TC
SENSOR
, in mV/°C, is the temperature coefficient and represents the slope of the equation.
•
V
SENSOR
, in mV, represents the y-intercept of the equation.
•
Temp, in °C, is the temperature of interest.

The temperature (Temp, °C) can be computed by
for each of the reference voltages used in
the ADC measurement:
