PRODUCTION DATA
On-chip diodes provide temperature-sensing capability. By setting the TEMP pin high, the selected analog inputs are disconnected and the inputs to the ADC are connected to the anodes of two diodes scaled to 1x and 80x in current and size, as shown in Figure 8-1. By measuring the difference in voltage of these diodes, temperature changes can be inferred from a baseline temperature. Typically, the difference in diode voltage is 111.7 mV at 25°C with a temperature coefficient of 379 µV/°C. With PGA gain = 1 and 2, the difference voltage output from the PGA is 111.7 mV and 223.4 mV, respectively. The temperature sensor function is impossible to use with PGA gain = 64 and 128.
