The engineer can use a polynomial equation or a LUT to extract the temperature reading based on the ADC

code read in the microcontroller. The Thermistor Design Tool should be used to translate the TMP64-Q1

resistance to temperature.

The cancellation of VBIAS is one benefit to using a voltage-divider (ratiometric approach), but the sensitivity of the

output voltage of the divider circuit cannot increase much. Therefore, not all of the ADC codes are used due to

the small voltage output range compared to the FSR. This application is very common, however, and is simple to

implement.

The engineer can use a current source-based circuit, like the one shown in Figure 9-3, to have better control

over the sensitivity of the output voltage and achieve higher accuracy. In this case, the output voltage is simply V

= I × R. For example, if a current source of 100 µA is used with the TMP64-Q1, the output voltage spans

approximately 5.5 V and has a gain up to 40 mV/°C. Having control over the voltage range and sensitivity allows

for full utilization of the ADC codes and full-scale range. Similar to the ratiometric approach above, if the ADC

has a built-in current source that shares the same bias as the reference voltage of the ADC, the tolerance of the

supply current cancels out. In this case, a precision ADC is not required. This method yields the best accuracy,

but can increase the system implementation cost.

In comparison to the non-linear NTC thermistor in a voltage divider, the TMP64-Q1 has an enhanced linear

output characteristic. The two voltage divider circuits with and without a linearization parallel resistor, R P, are

shown in Figure 9-4. Consider an example where VBIAS = 5 V, RBIAS = 47 kΩ, and a parallel resistor (RP) is used

with the NTC thermistor (RNTC) to linearize the output voltage with an additional 47-kΩ resistor. The TMP64-Q1

produces a linear curve across the entire temperature range while the NTC curve is only linear across a small

temperature region. When the parallel resistor (RP) is added to the NTC circuit, the added resistor makes the

curve much more linear but greatly affects the output voltage range.
