#163152 - Temperature accuracy
Responding to: ???'s previous message
From the data sheet for the TMP03
                            TYP  MAX
Temperature Error TA = 25°C 1.0  3.0 °C
–25°C < TA < +100°C1        1.5  4.0 °C
–40°C < TA < –25°C1         2.0  5.0 °C
Temperature Linearity       0.5 °C
Long-Term Stability 1000 Hours at 125°C 0.5 °C

...so the accuracy is pretty appalling.

I'd go with Satish's suggestion - use a thermistor and a look up table or whatever.
