Note 8: Error shown does not include errors of the sensor itself. The sensor linearization is performed using a
Callendar-Van Dusen linearization algorithm. These specs are for one year while operation of the
device is between 15 °C and 35 °C. The specification does not include lead resistance errors for 2-wire
RTD connections. Please contact your sensor supplier for details on the actual sensor error limitations.
Note 9: Resistance values greater than 660 Ω cannot be measured by the device in the RTD mode. The 660 Ω
resistance limit includes the total resistance across the current excitation (±Ix) pins, which is the sum of
the RTD resistance and the lead resistances.
Note 10: For accurate three wire compensation, the individual lead resistances connected to the ±Ix pins
must be of equal value.
Thermistor measurement accuracy

Note 11: Error shown does not include errors of the sensor itself. The sensor linearization is performed
using a Steinhart-Hart linearization algorithm. These specs are for one year while operation of the
device is between 15 °C and 35 °C. The specification does not include lead resistance errors for 2-wire
thermistor connections. Please contact your sensor supplier for details on the actual sensor error
limitations. Total thermistor resistance on any given channel pair must not exceed 180 k Ω. Typical
resistance values at various temperatures for supported thermistors are shown in Table 8.
