Your colleague is measuring the transfer function of a TI TMP6131 with a 5V bias voltage. They have shown you the following results. The solid line indicates the data that they believe should be correct based on the transfer function of the sensor, and the points indicate their measurements. They're concerned about the systematic errors that get worse at lower temperatures. To make the measurements, they started with a -10C standard and worked through their test temperatures in ascending order.
What do you suggest is the most likely problem and solution?
