21. Chip Temperature Measurement
A serial interface command allows measuring a chip-temperature–dependent voltage which is
generated by two diodes connected in series. Three 2-diode sensors are connected in parallel
and located in the following blocks: VPERI, VCORE, and VSAT. The diodes are supplied by a
temperature-constant current source, the voltage drop of the diodes is switched via AMUX to pin
UZP. If the overtemperature level is exceeded, bit a7 in the status register is set to “1”.
Necessary for operation:
VINT = 3.7V to 5.47V
Operating conditions of all other supply pins:
VK30, VEVZ, VVSAT, VVPERI and VVCORE are within functional range limits, Tj = –40°C to 150°C
Other pins:
As defined in Section 4. ”Functional Range” on page 8.
