†Notice: Stresses above those listed under “Maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is
a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated in
the operational listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods
may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
The T
_ACY
temperature accuracy specification is defined as the device accuracy to the NIST ITS-90
Thermocouple EMF to Degree Celsius conversion Database. T
is also defined as the temperature difference
between the Hot and Cold Junctions or temperatures from the NIST ITS-90 database.
2:
The device measures temperature below the specified range, however the sensitivity to changes in temperature
reduces exponentially. Type R and S measure down to -50°C, or -0.226mV
EMF
and -0.235mV
EMF
, respectively.
Type B measures down to 500°C or 1.242mV
EMF
(see Figures 2-7, 2-8, 2-14 and Figures 2-10, 2-11 and 2-17).
3: Exceeding the V
IN_CM
input range may cause leakage current through the ESD protection diodes at the
thermocouple input pins. This parameter is characterized but not production tested.
