The ADC-12’s channel-14 is internally connected to a temperature sensor. The internal sensor may be used for purposes like overtemperature protection and/or temperature compensation of control related parameters like voltage reference or switching frequency. Some applications may require additional external temperature sensor/s for measurement of switching stage temperature/s and for copper trace current sensing temperature compensation.
In order to activate the internal temperature sensor the following bit in TEMPSENCTRL register at Chapter 8 need to be cleared.
