The averaging ADC integrates over a 120ms period
(each channel, typically), with excellent noise rejection.
For internal temperature measurements, the ADC and
associated circuitry measure the forward voltage of the
internal sensing diode at low- and high-current levels
and compute the temperature based on this voltage.
For thermistor measurements, the reference voltage
and the thermistor voltage are measured and offset is
applied to yield a value that correlates well to thermistor
temperature within a wide temperature range. Both
channels are automatically converted once the conver-
sion process has started. If one of the two channels is
not used, the circuit still performs both measurements,
and the data from the unused channel may be ignored.
If either of the measured temperature values is below

0°, the value in the corresponding temperature register
is clipped to zero when a negative offset is pro-
grammed into the thermistor offset register (17h).
Local (internal) temperature data is expressed directly
in degrees Celsius. Two registers contain the tempera-
ture data for the local channel. The high-byte register
has an MSB of 128°C and an LSB of 1°C. The low- byte
register contains 3 bits, with an MSB of 0.5°C and an
LSB of 0.125°C. The data format is shown in Table 1.
Thermistors allow measurements of external tempera-
tures. Connect a thermistor in series with a resistor,
R
TH_ input and ground, and R
between the reference output, REF, and the TH_ input,
as shown in the Typical Application Circuit.
