R3 and IBIAS both have a tolerance of ±10% and a temperature
coefficient of 30 ppm/°C. Connecting to R3SENSE rather than
AVDD avoids incorporating into R3 internal metal connections
that have large temperature coefficients and result in large
errors. See
Figure 49 for a plot of R3 vs. ambient temperature

To eliminate errors due to the tolerances of R3 and IBIAS, a two-
measurement calibration can be performed as the following
example illustrates:
1. Program code 0x1000 and measure IOUT and VR3. In this
example, the measured values are
IOUT = 1.47965 mA
VR3 = 79.55446 mV
2. Program Code 0xF000 and measure IOUT and VR3 again.
The measured values this time are
IOUT = 22.46754 mA
VR3 = 946.39628 mV
Using this information and Equation 2, two simultaneous
equations can be generated from which the values of R3 and
IBIAS can be calculated as follows:
