The temperature sensor circuitry consists of a serial
connection of a normal and a NTC resistor. The NTC sensor is from Murata and some part
details are shown in table "
Table 1", more information can be obtained from the
manufacturers web-site.

Following table shows the temperature vs. resistance
characteristic. The values are available from Murata in the datasheet of the NTC.
Approximations can be used to model the temperature vs. resistance characteristic, for
example the B parameter and the Steinhart-Hart equations. The coefficients for both
formulas can be calculated from the values in
Table 2.

When the internal reference VCC/1.6 is used and the ADC is
measuring in signed single ended mode the codes in the table below can be read from the ADC
at the various temperatures. The calculation is based on the above table.
