Precision ADC
The interrupt flags are reset by the user software. The Precision ADC sets the interrupt flags each time a
new conversion result is available in the ADC14MEMx register if applicable. Interrupt flags are not cleared
by hardware. The user software resets the window comparator interrupt flags according to the application
requirements.
22.2.10 Using the Integrated Temperature Sensor
To use the on-chip temperature sensor, enable the temperature sensor input channel by setting the
ADC14TCMAP bit to 1 in the ADC14CTL1 register. Select the analog input channel ADC14INCHx =
MAX–1, where MAX is the maximum number of external ADC input channels for the device starting count
at zero, for the temperature sensor. Any other configuration is done as if that external channel was
selected, including reference selection and conversion memory selection. The temperature sensor is in the
REF module.
shows a typical temperature sensor transfer function. The transfer function shown here is
only an example. Calibration is required to determine the corresponding voltages for the specific device.
When using the temperature sensor, the sample period must be greater than 5 µs. The temperature
sensor offset error can be large and must be calibrated for most applications. Temperature calibration
values are available for use in the TLV descriptors (see the device-specific data sheet for locations).
REFON bit must be set to 1 in REF module for using the temperature sensor. The reference choices for
converting the temperature sensor are the same as with any other ADC channel.
