34.2.11 Using the Integrated Temperature Sensor
To use the on-chip temperature sensor, the user must enable the temperature sensor input channel by setting the ADC12TCMAP bit equal to 1 in the ADC12CTL3 register. The user must then select the analog input channel ADC12INCHx = 0x1E for the temperature sensor. Any other configuration is done as if an external channel were selected, including reference selection, conversion-memory selection, and so on. The temperature sensor is in the REF module.
A typical temperature sensor transfer function is shown in Figure 34-12. The transfer function shown is only an example. Calibration is required to determine the corresponding voltages for a specific device. When using the temperature sensor, the sample period must be greater than 30 µs. The temperature sensor offset error can be large and may need to be calibrated for most applications. Temperature calibration values are available for use in the TLV descriptors (see the device-specific data sheet for locations). Some MSP430 devices include calibration data that can be used to compute temperature more accurately. For more information, refer to Section 1.14.3.3.
Selecting the temperature sensor automatically turns on the on-chip reference generator as a voltage source for the temperature sensor. However, it does not enable the VREF+ output or affect the reference selections for the conversion. The reference choices for converting the temperature sensor are the same as with any other channel.
