STM32H723 Analog Temperature Measurement Alarm

All:

I have connected internal temperature to ADC3, and I am able to display degrees C on "Live Expressions". 

The particular chip we are working with has an operating range of -40 C to + 85 C. If I am monitoring the internal temperature on a regular basis (once per second), is there a temperature that would be good for fault condition?

I am assuming I do not want to fault at 85 C, but is there a temperature that people have generally used as a condition to fault? (Is 75 C a good temperature to raise an alarm?) By the way, my Nucleo board generally runs at 30 C, after starting at roughly 26 C when first powered.

Regards,

Todd Anderson

Indeed. The internal temperature sensor measures the Junction temperature (TJ) which should not exceed 125°c for the industrial temperature range 6.

That's the ambient temperature range - the internal chip temperature will be higher.

Does the datasheet give a figure for the chip-to-ambient thermal resistance?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Thanks for clarifying. It looks like internal temperature could go as high as 125 C. 

I will monitor the temperature and compare to ambient board temperature, and will probably determine a fault condition based on that.
