TEMPERATURE VALUE REGISTER
The temperature value register is a 14-bit read-only register that
stores the temperature reading from the ADC in 13-bit twos
complement format plus a sign bit. The MSB (DB13) is the sign
bit. The ADC can theoretically measure a 255°C temperature
span. The internal temperature sensor is guaranteed to a low
value limit of −40°C and a high limit of +150°C. The temperature
data format is shown in Table 5, which shows the temperature
measurement range of the device (−40°C to +150°C). The
typical performance curve is shown in Figure 11.
