ADS1248 The drift error of temperature sensor reading

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1248

Hi

My customer is using ADC1248 .
Could you let me know the the drif error(min and max value) of temperature sensor reading?
I know that typical value is 405 uV/C from datasheet.
I want to know the max and min value of the case that temperature range from 0C to 80C.

Thanks,
Shimizu

  • Shimizu-san,


    For the ADS1248, we do not give a min or max value for the temperature sensor. In the past, I've looked at some of the older bench characterization and final test data. The distribution of the measurement shows a single standard deviation of about 2C, if you used three standard deviations you would get about +/-6C of error.

    I talk about it a bit more in this post:
    http://e2e.ti.com/support/data_converters/precision_data_converters/f/73/p/51686/182869#182869

    Note that there are no min/max specifications for it. If the customer wants to use it, they should characterize and calibrate it themselves. However there are other alternate methods of measuring temperature given in some of the notes below:

     Thank you for your support.

     That has become a great help.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Joseph-san,

    Could you let me know a condition to the following information?
    Is that -40C~105C?

  • Shimizu-san,


    Yes, that is correct. The ADS1248 is specified from -40C to 105C and there was a lot of characterization data taken on bench and at final for that temperature range (and for beyond that temperature range as well). I had looked at data that was taken with the rest of characterization.

    Again, I will note that this is not a guaranteed specification.

    Thank you for your support.
    I also understood the following.
