AN60590 - PSoC® 3, PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP - Temperature Measurement with a Diode

AN60590 explains diode-based temperature measurement using PSoC® 3, PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP. The temperature is measured based on the diode forward bias current dependence on temperature. This application note details how the flexible analog architecture of PSoC 3, PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP enables you to measure diode temperatures using a single PSoC device.

はじめに

Temperature is the most common and frequently measured environmental variable. Temperature measurements typically use one of the four sensors: thermocouple, thermistor, diode, and resistance temperature detector (RTD). The primary criteria for choosing a sensor are cost, accuracy, and temperature range.
