SECOND-ORDER TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

In order to obtain full accuracy over the whole temperature range, it is recommended to compensate for the non-

linearity of the output of the temperature sensor. This can be achieved by the second-order temperature calculation,

i.e. by replacing the block ‘Calculate actual temperature’ in flow chart Fig. 3 by the following sequence:

Calculate actual temperature

Difference

between

the

actual

temperature

and

reference temperature:

dT = (D2 - UT1) - ((D2-UT1)*(D2-UT1))/2

18

Actual temperature in °C

TEMP = 2000 + dT*(C6+262)/2

Calculate actual temperature

Difference

between

the

actual

temperature

and

reference temperature:

dT = (D2 - UT1) - (9*(D2-UT1)*(D2-UT1))/2

18

Actual temperature in °C

TEMP = 2000 + dT*(C6+262)/2

D2



UT1?

no

yes

Fig. 5: Flow chart for calculating the temperature to the optimum accuracy. The value for dT thus obtained is then used for the

calculation of the temperature compensated pressure as shown in Fig. 3.
