14.2.2.2 Low-Power Mode Operation
The ADC is capable of running in stop3 mode but requires LVDSE and LVDE in SPMSC1 to be set.
14.2.3 Temperature Sensor
The ADC1 module includes a temperature sensor whose output is connected to one of the ADC analog
channel inputs. Equation 14-1 provides an approximate transfer function of the temperature sensor.
Temp = 25 - ((V
TEMP
-V
TEMP25
)  m) Eqn. 14-1
where:
—V
TEMP
is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at the ambient temperature.
—V
TEMP25
is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at 25C.
— m is the hot or cold voltage versus temperature slope in V/C.
For temperature calculations, use the V
TEMP25
and m values from the ADC Electricals table.
In application code, the user reads the temperature sensor channel, calculates V
TEMP
, and compares to
V
TEMP25
. If V
TEMP
is greater than V
TEMP25
the cold slope value is applied in Equation 14-1. If V
TEMP
is
less than V
TEMP25
the hot slope value is applied in Equation 14-1.
To improve accuracy , calibrate the bandgap voltage reference and temperature sensor.
Calibrating at 25 C will improve accuracy to ± 4.5 C.
Calibration at 3 points, -40 C, 25 C, and 125 C will improve accuracy to ± 2.5 C. Once calibration has
been completed, the user will need to calculate the slope for both hot and cold. In application code, the
user would then calculate the temperature using Equation 14-1 as detailed above and then determine if the
temperature is above or below 25 C. Once determined if the temperature is above or below 25 C, the user
can recalculate the temperature using the hot or cold slope value obtained during calibration.
