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.
