Temperature Sensor
==================

Introduction
------------

The {IDF_TARGET_NAME} has a built-in sensor used to measure the chip's internal temperature. The temperature sensor module contains an 8-bit Sigma-Delta ADC and a DAC to compensate for the temperature offset.
The {IDF_TARGET_NAME} has a built-in sensor used to measure the chip's internal temperature. The temperature sensor module contains an 8-bit Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to compensate for the temperature measurement.

Due to restrictions of hardware, the sensor has predefined measurement ranges with specific measurement errors. See the table below for details.

The temperature sensor is designed primarily to measure the temperature changes inside the chip. The temperature value depends on factors like microcontroller clock frequency or I/O load. Generally, the chip's internal temperature might be higher than the ambient temperature.
The temperature sensor is designed primarily to measure the temperature changes inside the chip. The internal temperature of a chip is usually higher than the ambient temperature, and is affected by factors such as the microcontroller's clock frequency or I/O load, and the external thermal environment.

Resource Allocation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The {IDF_TARGET_NAME} has just one built-in temperature sensor hardware. The temperature sensor instance is represented by :cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_handle_t`, which is also the bond of the context. It would always be the parameter of the temperature APIs with the information of hardware and configurations, so user can just create a pointer of type :cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_handle_t` and passing to APIs as needed.
The {IDF_TARGET_NAME} has just one built-in temperature sensor hardware. The temperature sensor instance is represented by :cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_handle_t`, which is also the bond of the context. By using :cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_handle_t`, the temperature sensor properties can be accessed and modified in different function calls to control and manage the temperature sensor. The variable would always be the parameter of the temperature APIs with the information of hardware and configurations, so you can just create a pointer of type :cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_handle_t` and passing to APIs as needed.

In order to install a built-in temperature sensor instance, the first thing is to evaluate the temperature range in your detection environment (For example: if the testing environment is in a room, the range you evaluate might be 10 °C ~ 30 °C; if the testing in a lamp bulb, the range you evaluate might be 60 °C ~ 110 °C). Based on that, the following configuration structure should be defined in advance:
:cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_config_t`:

For example, if the testing environment is in a room, the range you evaluate might be 10 °C ~ 30 °C; if the testing in a lamp bulb, the range you evaluate might be 60 °C ~ 110 °C. Based on that, configuration structure :cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_config_t` should be defined in advance:

- :cpp:member:`range_min`. The minimum value of testing range you have evaluated.
- :cpp:member:`range_max`. The maximum value of testing range you have evaluated.
- :cpp:member:`range_min`: The minimum value of the testing range you have evaluated.
- :cpp:member:`range_max`: The maximum value of the testing range you have evaluated.

After the ranges are set, the structure could be passed to :cpp:func:`temperature_sensor_install`, which will instantiate the temperature sensor instance and return a handle.

As mentioned above, different measure ranges have different measurement errors. The user doesn't need to care about the measurement error because we have an internal mechanism to choose the minimum error according to the given range.

If the temperature sensor is no longer needed, you need to call :cpp:func:`temperature_sensor_uninstall` to free the temperature sensor resource.

Creating a Temperature Sensor Handle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Step1: Evaluate the testing range. In this example, the range is 20 °C ~ 50 °C.
* Step2: Configure the range and obtain a handle

Install Temperature Threshold Callback
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{IDF_TARGET_NAME} supports automatically triggering to monitor the temperature value continuously. When temperature value reaches a given threshold, an interrupt will happen. Thus users can install their own interrupt callback functions to do what they want. (e.g. alarm, restart, etc.). Following information indicates how to prepare a threshold callback.

- :cpp:member:`temperature_sensor_event_callbacks_t::on_threshold`. As this function is called within the ISR context, you must ensure that the function does not attempt to block (e.g., by making sure that only FreeRTOS APIs with ``ISR`` suffix are called from within the function, etc.). The function prototype is declared in :cpp:type:`temperature_thres_cb_t`.

You can save your own context to :cpp:func:`temperature_sensor_register_callbacks` as well, via the parameter ``user_arg``. The user data will be directly passed to the callback function.

.. _temp-power-management:

Power Management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When power management is enabled (i.e. ``CONFIG_PM_ENABLE`` is on), temperature sensor will still keep working because it uses XTAL clock (on ESP32-C3) or RTC clock (on ESP32-S2/S3).
As the temperature sensor does not use the APB clock, it will keep working no matter if the power management is enabled with ``CONFIG_PM_ENABLE``.

.. _temp-iram-safe:

IRAM Safe
^^^^^^^^^

By default, the temperature sensor interrupt will be deferred when the Cache is disabled for reasons like writing/erasing Flash. Thus the event callback functions will not get executed in time, which is not expected in a real-time application.
By default, the temperature sensor interrupt will be deferred when the cache is disabled for reasons like writing/erasing flash. Thus the event callback functions will not get executed in time, which is not expected in a real-time application.

There is a Kconfig option :ref:`CONFIG_TEMP_SENSOR_ISR_IRAM_SAFE` that will:

1. Enable the interrupt that is being serviced even when the cache is disabled.
2. Place all functions that are used by the ISR into IRAM.

This allows the interrupt to run while the cache is disabled but comes at the cost of increased IRAM consumption.

Thread Safety
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In temperature sensor we don't add any protection to keep the thread safe. Because from the common usage, temperature sensor should only be called in one task. If you must use this driver in different tasks, please add extra locks to protect it.

2. When installing the temperature sensor, the driver may print ``the boundary you gave cannot meet the range of internal temperature sensor``. It is because the built-in temperature sensor has a testing limit. The error comes from the incorrect configuration of :cpp:type:`temperature_sensor_config_t` as follow:

(1) Totally out of range, like 200 °C ~ 300 °C.
(2) Cross the boundary of each predefined measurement. like 40 °C ~ 110 °C.
