Any resistance in PCB traces will cause a voltage drop between the actual VBE at the transistor and the measured VBE at the temperature sensor, which results in a temperature offset. Using three different current level measurements shown in Figure 1-2, a certain amount of series resistance can be canceled out when solving for temperature.
