The temperature sensor values are logged during test production flow for Room and Hot insertions: 
z
ROOM_TEMP_VAL_INT and ROOM_TEMP_VAL_DEC contains the measured temperature at room 
insertion (e.g. for ROOM_TEMP_VAL_INT=25 and ROOM_TEMP_VAL_DEC=2, the measured 
temperature at room insertion is 25.2°C).
z
HOT_TEMP_VAL_INT and HOT_TEMP_VAL_DEC contains the measured temperature at hot insertion 
(e.g. for HOT_TEMP_VAL_INT=83 and HOT_TEMP_VAL_DEC=3, the measured temperature at room 
insertion is 83.3°C).
The temperature log row also contains the corresponding 12bit ADC conversions of both Room and Hot temperatures:
z
ROOM_ADC_VAL contains the 12bit ADC value corresponding to (ROOM_TEMP_VAL_INT, 
ROOM_TEMP_VAL_DEC)
z
HOT_ADC_VAL contains the 12bit ADC value corresponding to (HOT_TEMP_VAL_INT, 
HOT_TEMP_VAL_DEC)
The temperature log row also contains the corresponding 1V internal reference of both Room and Hot temperatures:
z
ROOM_INT1V_VAL is the 2’s complement of the internal 1V reference value corresponding to 
(ROOM_TEMP_VAL_INT, ROOM_TEMP_VAL_DEC)
z
HOT_INT1V_VAL is the 2’s complement of the internal 1V reference value corresponding to 
(HOT_TEMP_VAL_INT, HOT_TEMP_VAL_DEC)
z
ROOM_INT1V_VAL and HOT_INT1V_VAL values are centered around 1V with a 0.001V step. In other 
words, the range of values [0,127] corresponds to [1V, 0.873V] and the range of values [-1, -127] 
corresponds to [1.001V, 1.127V]. INT1V == 1 - (VAL/1000) is valid for both ranges.
Using Linear Interpolation
For concise equations, we’ll use the following notations:
z
(ROOM_TEMP_VAL_INT, ROOM_TEMP_VAL_DEC) is denoted temp
R
z
(HOT_TEMP_VAL_INT, HOT_TEMP_VAL_DEC) is denoted temp
H
z
ROOM_ADC_VAL is denoted ADC
R
, its conversion to Volt is denoted V
ADCR
z
HOT_ADC_VAL is denoted ADC
H
, its conversion to Volt is denoted V
ADCH
z
ROOM_INT1V_VAL is denoted INT1V
R
z
HOT_INT1V_VAL is denoted INT1V
H
Using the (temp
R
, ADC
R
) and (temp
H
, ADC
H
) points, using a linear interpolation we have the following equation:
Given a temperature sensor ADC conversion value ADC
m
, we can infer a coarse value of the temperature temp
C
 as:
[Equation 1]
Notes: 1. In the previous expression, we’ve added the conversion of the ADC register value to be expressed in V.
