TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The on-chip temperature sensor of the ADF5904 is accessed on

the ATEST pin. The temperature sensor operates over the full

operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C. To improve

accuracy, conduct a one-point calibration at room temperature

and store the result in the external memory. Convert the ATEST

voltage to temperature by using the following equation:

where:
