PRODUCTION DATA
As discussed in Section 8.1.2, the voltage-divider circuit error tVDx of the RES31A is related to the gain-circuit error tDx by one of the two following expressions (depending on the placement of RG and RIN):
Therefore, the change in the voltage divider transfer function GVDx with temperature is a direct function of the change in tDx with temperature. Multiplying the temperature coefficient TCRratio by the change in ambient temperature gives the change in tDx, which is in turn substituted in the appropriate equation above to calculate the change in tVDx. The change in tVDx directly describes the change in GVDx.
As an example, consider a RES31A40 with Gnom = 4 and a circuit configuration as shown in Figure 8-4, with RX = RG1 and RY = RIN1. Assume tD1 is initially 85ppm and increases by 5ppm due to a 25°C increase in ambient temperature. The initial value of tVD1, before the temperature change, is calculated as:
The new value of tVD1 after the temperature change is calculated as:
In this first scenario, the shift in tD1 of 5ppm causes a shift in tVD1 of –4ppm.
If the circuit configuration is inverted so that RX = RIN1 and RY = RG1, then the initial value of tVD1 is calculated as:
The new value of tVD1 after the temperature change is calculated as:
In this second scenario, the shift in tD1 of 5ppm causes a shift in tVD1 of only 1ppm.
