[volt-nuts] Trimming the LTZ1000 tempco

[Bruce Griffiths]

There's little point in adding the tempco compensation resistor if you 
do that as your proposed connection essentially eliminates the 
additional correction provided by the resistor.
There's no way of avoiding the sensitivity to the value of this resistor 
if this method of tempco trimming is used.
However if a +50ppm/K LTZ1000 residual tempco (with the tempco trim 
resistor = 0) is typical, then the sensitivity will only be about 10% or 
so of that esstimated by Adreas.
