Reading temperature from adc value(Non linear)

[sireevenkat1]

Hi,

I am using STM32G491RE. I have to read temperature values from ADC. We  used voltage divider circuit to map the voltage values with temperature values it is non linear change between volatge and temperature.

I tried below way

const uint16_t adc_values[182] = {/* mention all voltage values*/};

const uint16_t temperature_values[182]={/* mention corresponding temperature values*/};

const int calibration_points = sizeof(adc_values) / sizeof(adc_values[0]);

float mapADCtoTemperature(uint16_t adc_value) {

for (int i = 0; i < calibration_points; i++) {

if(adc_value==adc_values[i])

{

return temperature_values[i];

}

}

return -1.0;

}

while(1)

{

HAL_ADC_Start(&hadc1);

HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&hadc1, HAL_MAX_DELAY);

uint16_t adc_value = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc1);

float voltage=(float)adc_value/4095.0 * 3.3;

float temperature = mapADCtoTemperature(voltage);

char buff[100];

sprintf(buff,"ADC value: %d,voltage:%.2f V,Temperature: % .2f C\r\n",adc_value,voltage,temperature);

}

With above code I am getting only few correct temperature values.Is there any other way to do it.
Can anyone suggest.

Thanks

Edited as I misread the question.

HI @###### ,

Thanks for the suggestion but I am not using internal temperature sensor for temperature values reading. I am using voltage divider circuit(it has two resistor and one variable resistor) for temperature and voltage values mapping.
What will be the TS_CAL2 & TS_CAL1 values if I am not using internal temperature sensor?
I already have manually calculated temperature values for given voltage values . I just want to know how to get that temperature values for given voltage values through programming with stm32G491RE.

Thanks

Sorry, didn't read your question properly, I'll edit. The only thing possibly useful in what I posted above might be the internal reference data that is also stored.

I would guess if you are getting a non-linear result then you are using a non-linear NTC thermistor? I think there are some packaged linear thermistors available that have a PTC.

Alternatively I would suggest you create and store a Look Up Table in ROM of calibrated values and then a function to interpolate and find an estimate nearest value.

There might be a mathematical method to fit a curve to the response but I wouldn't know how to do this.

Issue is solved. Thanks for suggestions. In my application voltage mapping with temperature already done by hardware team I just need to check the voltage values based on that need to perform the action.

Thanks
