1
An external calibration trim can be used to zero the error @ +25°C.
2
Defined as the maximum deviation from a mathematically best fit line.
3
Parameter tested on all production units at +105°C only. C grade at –25°C also.
4
Maximum deviation between +25°C readings after a temperature cycle between –45°C and +125°C. Errors of this type are noncumulative.
5
Operation @ +125°C, error over time is noncumulative.
6
Although performance is not specified beyond the operating temperature range, temperature excursions within the package temperature range will not damage the device.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
Specifications shown in boldface are tested on all production units at final electrical test. Results from those tests are used to calculate outgoing quality levels. All min
and max specifications are guaranteed, although only those shown in boldface are tested on all production units.

AD592
THEORY OF OPERATION
TOTAL ERROR –
o
C
The AD592 uses a fundamental property of silicon transistors
to realize its temperature proportional output. If two identical
transistors are operated at a constant ratio of collector current
densities, r, then the difference in base-emitter voltages will be
(kT/q)(ln r). Since both k, Boltzman’s constant and q, the
charge of an electron are constant, the resulting voltage is
directly Proportional To Absolute Temperature (PTAT). In the
AD592 this difference voltage is converted to a PTAT current
by low temperature coefficient thin film resistors. This PTAT
current is then used to force the total output current to be pro-
portional to degrees Kelvin. The result is a current source with
an output equal to a scale factor times the temperature (K) of
the sensor. A typical V-I plot of the circuit at +25°C and the
temperature extremes is shown in Figure 1.
resistor. Note that the maximum error at room temperature,
over the commercial IC temperature range, or an extended
range including the boiling point of water, can be directly read
from the specifications table. All three error limits are a combi-
nation of initial error, scale factor variation and nonlinearity de-
viation from the ideal 1

output. Figure 2 graphically
depicts the guaranteed limits of accuracy for an AD592CN.

Factory trimming of the scale factor to 1
µA/K
is accomplished
at the wafer level by adjusting the AD592’s temperature reading
so it corresponds to the actual temperature. During laser trim-
ming the IC is at a temperature within a few degrees of 25°C
and is powered by a 5 V supply. The device is then packaged
and automatically temperature tested to specification.
FACTORS AFFECTING AD592 SYSTEM PRECISION
The AD592 has a highly linear output in comparison to older
technology sensors (i.e., thermistors, RTDs and thermo-
couples), thus a nonlinearity error specification is separated
from the absolute accuracy given over temperature. As a maxi-
mum deviation from a best-fit straight line this specification rep-
resents the only error which cannot be trimmed out. Figure 3 is
a plot of typical AD592CN nonlinearity over the full rated tem-
perature range.

The accuracy limits given on the Specifications page for the
AD592 make it easy to apply in a variety of diverse applications.
To calculate a total error budget in a given system it is impor-
tant to correctly interpret the accuracy specifications, non-
linearity errors, the response of the circuit to supply voltage
variations and the effect of the surrounding thermal environ-
ment. As with other electronic designs external component se-
lection will have a major effect on accuracy.

TRIMMING FOR HIGHER ACCURACY
Three primary limits of error are given for the AD592 such that
the correct grade for any given application can easily be chosen
for the overall level of accuracy required. They are the calibra-
tion accuracy at +25°C, and the error over temperature from
0°C to +70°C and –25°C to +105°C. These specifications cor-
respond to the actual error the user would see if the current out-
put of an AD592 were converted to a voltage with a precision
Calibration error at 25°C can be removed with a single tempera-
ture trim. Figure 4 shows how to adjust the AD592’s scale fac-
tor in the basic voltage output circuit.
