The guaranteed supply voltage monitor range is from 4.5V to 6V. Typical parts are able to maintain measurement CONVERSIONS accuracy with VCC as low as 3.25V. The typical INL and DNL error plots shown on page 4 are measured with VCC Temperature Conversion from 3.63V to 6.353V. The LTC1392 measures temperature through the use of an Table 3.
