a temperature code that is trimmed to serve as a point of reference in calculating a slope error. In one embodiment, a baseline temperature code is determined by adjusting, trimming, and/or configuring a temperature sensor such that a measured temperature code represents a temperature that matches an actual temperature at a point in time, where the trimming and adjustments remove error from the measured temperature code. After a trimming or adjustment operation, the trimmed measured temperature code comprises the baseline temperature code. … more a temperature code that is trimmed to serve as a point of reference in calculating a slope error.
