An internal diode provides a rough measure of the device die temperature. This temperature monitor is not the same as that used by the over-temperature fault detect circuitry. The supported monitoring range is from –40°C to 150°C and the temperature can be calculated using the following equation.
The die temperature measurement is not trimmed for gain and offset error and is intended only as an auxiliary feature for applications that want a rough estimate of the die temperature. The accuracy of the die temperature sensor is not specified and varies depending on board layout. However, a rough characterization of the sensor typically shows accuracy around ±5°C. If precision temperature readings are required, using an external sensor is recommended.
