The two trims shown in Figure 3 are still intended to be a
one point temperature calibration, where the zero and
the slope are trimmed at a single temperature. The LT1009
reference is adjusted to give 2.700V at node a at T
SENSOR
= 25癈. The 1k trimmer then adjusts the output for 0.25V,
completing the calibration. If the calibration is to be done
at a temperature other than 25癈 , trim the LT1009 for
2.7025(1礎)[T
SENSOR
(癈)](100&) at node a, then
adjust the 1k trimmer for proper output.
If higher accuracy is required, a two point calibration
technique can be used. In Figure 4, separate zero and slope
trims are provided. Residual nonlinearity is now the limi-
tation on accuracy. Nonlinearity of the LM134 in a 100癈
span is typically less than 0.5癈. This particular method of
trimming has the advantage that the slope trim does not
interact with the zero trim. Trim procedure is to adjust for
zero output with T
SENSOR
= 0癈, then trim slope for proper
output at some convenient second temperature. No fur-
ther trimming is required.
