Noise
The resolution is better than 0.005 °C. The standarddeviation of the noiselevel
(measured over a 20 ms. period) is below this 0.005 °C.
Time constants
The time constants of the sensor is measured under different circumstances. To compare
this with other types of sensors the same kind of measurements were done. The time
constant is defined as the time required to reach 63% of an instananeous temperature
change.

The above mentioned figures are hard to measure, an accuracy of around 5 % is a reasonable
estimation. These figures only concern the sensor built in a TO-18 housing and not the TO-
92 nor the chip itself.
