When designing with the AD590, consider the operating temperature range, the required accuracy, and the package type suitable for the application. Proper thermal coupling to the object being measured is crucial for accurate temperature sensing.
The AD590 should be installed in a way that ensures good thermal contact with the object or area being measured. This might involve using thermal interfaces or ensuring the device is securely fastened to a heat sink or the object itself.
The device operates on a simple principle but requires careful consideration of the thermal path and electrical connections to ensure accurate and reliable operation. Calibration might be necessary depending on the specific application requirements.
