where

• VHYST = thermal hysteresis (in units of ppm)

• VNOM = the specified output voltage

• VPRE = output voltage measured at 25°C pre-temperature cycling

• VPOST = output voltage measured after the device has cycled from 25°C through the specified temperature

range of –40°C to +125°C and returns to 25°C.

8.4 Noise Performance

8.4.1 1/f Noise

1/f noise, also known as flicker noise, is a low frequency noise that affects the device output voltage which can

affect precision measurements in ADCs. This noise increases proportionally with output voltage and operating

temperature. It is measured by filtering the output from 0.1-Hz to 10-Hz. Since the 1/f noise is an extremely

low value, the frequency of interest needs to be amplified and band-pass filtered. This is done by using a

high-pass filter to block the DC voltage. The resulting noise is then amplified by a gain of 1000. The bandpass
