Measuring Temperature<br />

The <strong>Freescale</strong> S08QG family includes<br />

a temperature sensor whose output is<br />

connected to one of the ADC analog channel<br />

inputs. The approximate transfer function of<br />

the temperature sensor can be expressed by<br />

this equation:<br />

Temp = 25 – ((VTEMP – VTEMP25)/m)<br />

For more information about the temperature<br />

sensor, see the document MC9S08QG8/QG4<br />

Device Data Sheet, available at freescale.com.<br />

Features of the ADC module include:<br />

• Linear successive approximation algorithm<br />

with a 10-bit resolution<br />

• Output formatted in 10- or 8-bit rightjustified<br />

format<br />

• Single or continuous conversion (automatic<br />

return to idle after a single conversion)<br />

• Configurable sample time, conversion<br />

speed and power<br />

• Conversion complete flag and interrupt<br />

• Input clock selectable from up to four<br />

sources<br />

• Operation in Wait or Stop3 modes for low<br />

noise operation<br />

For more information about how to send<br />

the ADC values to the main MCU, see the<br />

application note titled Analog-to-Digital<br />

Pulse Oximetry Monitoring<br />

A pulse oximeter is a device that measures<br />

the amount of oxygen saturation in the blood.<br />

This parameter is useful for patients with<br />

metabolic disorders like respiratory acidosis,<br />

alcalosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary<br />

disease (COPD) and restrictive pulmonary<br />

disease.<br />

Blood Pressure<br />

Monitoring<br />

Power<br />

Management<br />

A blood pressure monitor is a device that<br />

measures the systolic and diastolic blood<br />

pressure by inflating a cuff until it equals<br />

the systolic pressure and then deflates until<br />

the diastolic pressure is bypassed. Other<br />

parameters can be measured like mean<br />

arterial pressure and heart rate.<br />
