Question

Is the temperature sensor integrated in STM32F429 calibrated or not?

In STM32F4's reference manual (RM0090), it gives a formula to calculate the temperature from the result converted from ADC.  But in STM32F429xxx's datasheet, I find it gives a table to show the register address store the calibration values:

I know the temperature sensor in STM32F0 series is calibrated. So, I wonder if the temperature sensor in STM32F4 is calibrated too?

Hello

Zhang.Vincent

,

he temperature sensor in STM32F4 is calibrated, andyou have the calibration values in the datasheet.

Kind Regards

But probably not in the sense that the specific device was run over temperature in an environmental chamber.

Clive,

from the datasheet I read that the chip/wafer is actually held at 30 and 110 degree and the ADC values are recorded.

While it may be 'calibrated,' it is still a relative measurement and not an absolute one.

Can you give more explanation? I think by use the two-point calibrated data, we can get a more accurate temperature.

Precision or Accuracy?

Unless you run your chip/board/enclosure up and down across a temperature gradient to understand how your supply voltage and regulation behave, and come up with some sort of correlation, I don't think it will have much value beyond just a gate temp estimate.
