General presentation of the concept
A linear pressure temperature compensation is implemented in the ASIC, using 3
embedded sensor calibration point information.
A second order of accuracy can be achieved (less pressure variation when temperature
changes) by implementing a quadratic compensation (second order polynomial
approximation) on top of the piecewise linear (PWL) one, by S/W, using the same calibration
data built-in the sensor registers.
Here we describe the basic quadratic concept, assuming the T0 = 10 °C:
