TEMPERATURE_TO_FREQUENCY_CONVERTER_KELVIN

This simple connection results in a direct conversion of temperature to frequency. The 1-mV/°K temperature output serves as the input to the buffer amplifier, and the oscillator drive current is scaled to be 298μA at 298°K (+25℃). Use of a 1000-pF capacitor results in a corresponding fre-quency of 2.98 kHz. A single-point trim for calibration is normally sufficient to give errors less than ±2℃ from -55℃ to +125℃. An NPO capacitor is preferred to minimize nonlinearity that results from capacitance drift.
