Temperatur​e Conversion

[imhiya]

Hello,



Just was hoping someone should shine some light on my issue, or give me the correct angle.



Basically, (in theory) I have a 12 bit A/D Temp sensor, this gives a natural bit output ranging from 0 to 4096, -50c to 200c

This is fed into a temp convertor to make it into fahrenheit.



To convert it to fahrenheit, we are given the equation,



Tf approx = ((1.75 * Tc) + 32)



The issue I'm having is, the output of the temp convertor, needs to be 12 bit SIGNED, so ranging from -2048 to 2048. So my problem comes where, I need to convert the input from unsigned to signed, and I've also realised that if a value over 2322 from the A/D temp is fed in, then it will cause the output to be all 1's.



So what is my bed approach, I'll attach my current code.

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use IEEE.numeric_std.ALL;



entity TC_12bit is
   port ( CENT_in : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(11 downto 0);
          FAH_out : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(11 downto 0));
end TC_12bit;



architecture behavioural of TC_12bit is
  
signal Tc : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(11 downto 0);
signal Tc_shift_r_1 : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(11 downto 0);
signal Tc_shift_r_2 : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(11 downto 0);


begin 

   Tc <= CENT_in;
   Tc_shift_r_1(10 downto 0) <= CENT_in(11 downto 1);
   Tc_shift_r_1(11) <= CENT_in(11);
   Tc_shift_r_2(9 downto 0) <= CENT_in(11 downto 2);
   Tc_shift_r_2(11) <= CENT_in(11);
   Tc_shift_r_2(10) <= '0';
    
   
   FAH_out <= std_logic_vector(signed(Tc) + signed(Tc_shift_r_1) + signed(Tc_shift_r_2) + 32);
   

	

end behavioural;
