Qualitative illustration of the compromise between linearity and sensitivity of the ratio between PTAT and reference currents. (a) A reference current with a low negative temperature coefficient will result in increased overall sensor sensitivity while minimally compromising linearity; (b) Sensitivity can be further increased with a reference current of a higher negative temperature coefficient, at the cost of increased deviation from linearity.
