APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The Linear Active Thermistor™ IC uses an internal

diode to measure temperature. The diode electrical

characteristics have a temperature coefficient that

provides a change in voltage based on the relative

ambient temperature from -40°C to 150°C. The change

in voltage is scaled to a temperature coefficient of

10.0 mV/°C (typical) for the MCP9700/9700A/9700B

and 19.5 mV/°C (typical) for the MCP9701/9701A. The

output voltage at 0°C is also scaled to 500 mV (typical)

and 400 mV (typical) for the MCP9700/9700A/9700B

and MCP9701/9701A, respectively. This linear scale is

described in the first-order transfer function shown in

Equation 4-1 and Figure 2-17.

Improving Accuracy

The MCP9700/9700A and MCP9701/9701A accuracy

can be improved by performing a system calibration at

a specific temperature. For example, calibrating the

system at +25°C ambient improves the measurement

accuracy to a ±0.5°C (typical) from 0°C to +70°C, as

shown in Figure 4-2. Therefore, when measuring

relative temperature change, this family of devices

measures temperature with higher accuracy.

FIGURE 4-2:

Relative Accuracy to +25°C

vs. Temperature.

The change in accuracy from the calibration tempera-

ture is due to the output nonlinearity from the first-order

equation, as specified in Equation 4-2. The accuracy

can be further improved by compensating for the output

nonlinearity.

For higher accuracy using a sensor compensation

technique,

refer

to Application

Note AN1001,

“IC Temperature Sensor Accuracy Compensation with

a PIC® Microcontroller” (DS00001001). The application

note shows that if the device is compensated in

addition to room temperature calibration, the sensor

accuracy can be improved to ±0.5°C (typical) accuracy

over the operating temperature (Figure 4-3).

Sensor Accuracy.

The compensation technique provides a linear

temperature reading. The application note includes

compensation firmware so that a look-up table can be

generated to compensate for the sensor error.
