Question regarding using LTC2997 to measure temperature on SoC with remote PNP diode

Hi,

Is I1 and I2 for LTC2997 variable or fixed? This part appears to be designed to interface with a 3904 diode. When the remote diode is a built into and SoC/FPGA, it may not be able to handle large I1 and I2 because of the size of the diode. Additionally, having higher currents can move the force the diode in be in region where the ideality factor is not 1. Is the Ideality Factor correction intended to be done as a 'post processing' step?

Thanks,
