The temperature sensor peripheral (TEMP) measures die temperature over the temperature range of the device. Linearity compensation can be implemented if required by the application.
The main features of TEMP are the following:
- Temperature range is greater than or equal to operating temperature of the device
- Resolution is 0.25 degrees
- TEMP analog electronics power down after temperature measurement is completed
To achieve the measurement accuracy stated in the electrical specification, the crystal oscillator must be selected as the HFCLK source, see CLOCK — Clock control for more information.
