The temperature sensor (TS) generates a voltage V
SENSE temperature.
that varies linearly with
The temperature sensor is internally connected to the ADC_IN16 input channel which is used to convert the sensor output voltage into a digital value.
The sensor provides good linearity but it has to be calibrated to obtain good overall accuracy of the temperature measurement. As the offset of the temperature sensor varies from chip to chip due to process variation, the uncalibrated internal temperature sensor is suitable for applications that detect temperature changes only.
To improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor measurement, each device is individually factory-calibrated by ST. The temperature sensor factory calibration data are stored by ST in the system memory area, accessible in read-only mode. See

3.11 DAC (digital-to-analog converter)
The two 12-bit buffered DAC channels can be used to convert two digital signals into two analog voltage signal outputs. The chosen design structure is composed of integrated resistor strings and an amplifier in non-inverting configuration.
This dual digital Interface supports the following features:
• Two DAC converters: one for each output channel
• 8-bit or 12-bit monotonic output
• Left or right data alignment in 12-bit mode
• Synchronized update capability
• Noise-wave generation
• Triangular-wave generation
• Dual DAC channels, independent or simultaneous conversions
• DMA capability for each channel (including the underrun interrupt)
• External triggers for conversion
• Input reference voltage V
REF+
Eight DAC trigger inputs are used in the STM32L151xC and STM32L152xC devices. The
DAC channels are triggered through the timer update outputs that are also connected to different DMA channels.
