(1)
When using resistive heaters, stability can only be consistently achieved when specified temperatures are 10°C or more above ambient.
(2)
The bias source has a compliance up to V
DD
- 2 V. In normal operation this limits the sensor voltage range from 0 V to V
DD
- 2 V. While
voltages up to ±5 V outside this range on the VSET pin will not damage the unit, it will not provide proper control under these conditions.
