FAQ

After using the ADC to obtain a temperature sensor value in the NuMicro® series, how does a user convert it into an actual temperature?  Issue Date:2016-12-20

The temperature for a temperature sensor can be calculated by the following formula:

Vtemp (mV) = Gain (mV/℃) x Temperature (℃) + Offset (mV)

where Gain and Offset are constants, which may vary in each NuMicro® series.

 

For example, in the NuMicro® M051 series:

When the operating voltage of the M051 series is 3.3V, use a 12-bit ADC to obtain the temperature sensor value as 0x33D = 829.

 

The following can be obtained:

Vtemp = (829 / 4096) * 3.3 = 0.668 (V) = 668 (mV)

 

The Gain and Offset for the M051 series are -1.75 (mV/℃) and 724 (mV), respectively, as shown in the figure below.

Thus, we can use the temperature sensor calculation formula

668 = (-1.75) * Temperature + 724

and obtain

Temperature = (668 – 724) / (-1.75) = 32 (℃)
