APPLICATION NOTE
Accuracies of the AD590
The following tables contain maximum errors by grade
for applications involving limited temperature spans.
The tables reflect the worst case nonlinearities of the
AD590, which invariably occur at the ends of the specified temperature range. The “trims” in each table refer
to the error correction circuits on pages 4 and 5 of the
AD590 data sheet (Figures 4 and 7a). All accuracies
given below are ±°C. For example, ±1°C accuracy is

J grade device using the circuit of Figure 4 on the AD590
data sheet will result in a sensor of the required accuracy and range.
