8. The deviation parameters VREF(dev) and IREF(dev)are defined as the differences between the maximum and minimum values obtained over the
rated temperature range. The average fullrange temperature coefficient of the reference input voltage, αVREF
, is defined as:
|aVREF|ǒppm
°CǓ+ǒVREF(dev)
VREF(at 25°C)Ǔ@106
TMAX *TMIN
VREF(min)
VREF(max)
TMAX -TMIN
VREF(dev)
where TMAX TMIN is the rated operating freeair temperature range
of the device.
aVREF can be positive or negative, depending on whether minimum
VREF or maximum VREF
, respectively, occurs at the lower
temperature.
Example:
VREF(dev) = 4.5 mV, VREF = 2500 mV at 25°C,
TMAX TMIN = 125°C for LM431SAI.
|aVREF|+ǒ4.5 mV
2500 mVǓ@106
125°C+14.4 ppmń°C
Because minimum VREF occurs at the lower temperature, the
coefficient is positive.
