A. A diode-connected configuration provides better settling time. The transistor-connected configuration provides better series resistance cancellation. NPN transistors must be diode-connected. PNP transistors can either be transistor-connected or diode-connected. For more information on NPN/PNP transistors, see the
Remote Temperature Sensor Transistor Selection Guide application note.
B. R
s (optional) must be < 1kΩ in most applications. Selections of R
s depend on specific applications; see the
Section 7.3.4 C. C
DIFF (optional) must be < 1000pF in most applications. Selections of C
DIFF depend on the specific application; see the
Section 7.3.4 and
Figure 6-6.
