The PIC10F322 is equipped with a temperature indicator module designed to measure the operating temperature of the silicon die.
Why is it there – What is the use monitoring the die? It is useful to monitor the temperature of the silicon die of the microcontroller to ensure that it is operating within its limits of thermal rating. In enclosed products, the microcontroller’s internal temperature can be monitored for protection of other components that are part of the system.
So, lets take a look and see how to read it.
