The Texas Instruments MSP430 family of low-power mixed signal ASSPs consists of many devices featuring different sets of peripherals targeted for various consumer medical applications. The AFE4110 CPU architecture is based on the popular ultra low power Texas Instruments MSP430 RISC processor.

The AFE4110 configuration with two 16-bit timers, integrated 48-segment LCD driver, programmable Analog Pool, supply voltage monitor and internal reference voltage source is particularly well suited for implementation of low cost digital thermometers operating from a single cell SR60 battery. The capability to correct the on chip high frequency oscillator output facilitates the generation and measurement of real time intervals. For many applications, this capability allows system designers to eliminate a clock crystal from the system BOM.

This user’s guide provides a general description of the AFE4110 thermometer demonstration board (demo-pen). Use this document with the AFE4110 data sheet to get a broader understanding of the functions and applications of this device.

The board demonstrates an accurate, low-cost, single-chip temperature measurement solution based on the AFE4110. This device is a general-purpose, low-cost, 1.5-V microcontroller optimized for this application with features like an internal 1.85-V/3.3-V charge-pump for LCD/GPIO interface, buzzer driver, low-power sleep mode, etc.

The measurement is done using an external thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) characteristic (resistance decreases with increasing temperature). The thermistor response has been calibrated using two temperature points (at 31°C and 43°C), for an overall typical accuracy of ± 0.1°C over that range, when measured in a calibration bath.
