Hi Peter I was just looking at the Linear Tech apnote recently about this so your data was of interest to me. Your conclusion about using a good current source is certainly on the mark. The deltas are so small that they are easily lost if attention to details is not paid. I would think that the current source needed should not present a problem. Of course, if you are looking for rock bottom parts cost, it might be. The theory does look interesting; Jim Williams writes interesting ap notes. I do believe as he claims that you can do away with calibration from unit to unit if you do a good implementation here. Good luck and please let us know how any further work goes on this. Thanks for taking the time to fill us in. Best regards, Tom M. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
