Pre-Programmed Metrology Calibration

10

Metrology parameters will…Eliminate PGA gain dispersion so multiple gains can be used to increase dynamic range or accuracy while still using single-point calibration in productionIncrease accuracy of on-chip bandgap voltage reference from already good ±30ppm/oC to class leading ±10ppm/oCEliminate temperature dependent drifts within AFEAvailable in RX21A-G included in Bill it! kit
