Default measurement resolution is 14bit. It can be reduced to 13bit, 12bit or
11bit by command to user register.
2
Accuracies are tested at Outgoing Quality Control at 25°C and 3.0V. Values
exclude long term drift.
3
Response time depends on heat conductivity of sensor substrate.

Min and max values of Supply Current and Power Dissipation are based on
fixed VDD = 3.0V and T<60°C. The average value is based on one 11bit
measurement per second.
