For instance, Thermal Offset Drift #1 equal ± 60LSB

yields to max. ± 0.3 Deg. angular error for the computed angular
information (output of the DSP). See Front End Application Note for more details. This is only valid if automatic gain is set (See
Section 14.4.2)

The Intrinsic Linearity Error refers to the IC itself (offset, sensitivity mismatch, orthogonality) taking into account an ideal
rotating field. Once associated to a practical magnetic construction and the associated mechanical and magnetic tolerances, the
output linearity error increases. However, it can be improved with the multi point end-user calibration that is available on the
MLX90316.
