PIC10F322 - TEMPERATURE INDICATOR MODULE usage

[DeeJayOne]

Hi everyone!

I'm a newbie with Flowcode 8 and I would like to know how to use the TIM (Temperature Indicator Module) of the PIC10F322.
When I search in the menu "sensor -> temperature" , I don't find any "internal temperature" component.

Hi

Welcome to the forum, a great place to be.

I'm not the greatest of experts but chip in when I can and I'm sure others with better knowledge will jump in too.

This (internal) feature, senses the temperature of the die itself (not ambient temp of room) and provides this to the ADC for processing. There isn't a component for this that I can see but maybe Matrixtsl will create one if you ask them really nicely <s>

You would need to use some C-code blocks to access/set associated registers (not too difficult you just need to understand the format) and datasheet sections 14 / 15 / 12 will assist, then read the value whenever you wish to know the temperature.

A search of the forum / wiki will give advice on setting / accessing registers. For example to set the oscillator to 8MHz you would use a C-code block and enter OSSCON=0x60; where OSSCON is the register and 0x60 is the hex value of the bits (see page 26 of datasheet), and don't forget to end with a semicolon.

Tomorrow if I get time I'll look at actually doing the above to read the temp.

Thanks for your reply chipfryer27

Knowing that a 8-bit PIC µC doesn't heat a lot, I think that getting the die temperature shoudn't be very different than getting the ambiant temperature.

Is there a place in the forum to ask new feature request ?

Knowing that a 8-bit PIC µC doesn't heat a lot,

That would depend on how many LED's or similar loads driving at once + osc speed.

Of course !!!
I like Low Power system applications : LOW POWER = LESS HEAT, LESS POLUTION -> ECO FRIENDLY

Hi

Sorry for the delay in replying again, I got caught up with some other issues.

I've just checked and I don't actually have any chips with that feature. I was sure I did but..... Anyway, until I get some I won't be of much help but I'm sure the rest of the community will help with any questions.
