Is there an API or example of the On-Chip Temperature Sensor?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm using the CY8CKIT-062-BLE.

I see an example that uses the built in functions for an external thermistor or thermocouple. But is there an example or API that shows us how to use the on-chip temperature sensor? Maybe I'm just having a hard time finding it.

Thanks,

Nick

Here is the program. You must have the Elnk display board attached to the PSOC motherboard.

Thanks.

Is this the temperature sensor that the datasheet refers to?

Temperature Sensor

PSoC 62 has an on-chip temperature sensor. This consists of a

diode, which is biased by a current source that can be disabled

to save power. The temperature sensor is connected to the ADC,

which digitizes the reading and produces a temperature value by

using a Cypress-supplied software that includes calibration and

linearization.

No this program is for the external Temp sensor on the CY8KIT-028-EPD. However it should work for the internal on Chip Temp sensor also.

There is a PDF file in the program to explain it.

Hello nicholas.killmeier_3249331​,

Please refer to CE220974 - PSoC 6 MCU Multi-Config Scan_ADC Example example. This example shows how to configure the internal Die temperature sensor in PSoC 6 and convert the value to temperature. Read the documentation for details.

Let me know if this answers the question.

That example worked great. Thank you!
