Check out the 4536 as well. But a single 8-pin microcontroller can
give you the required accuracy with no external parts, or 10x better
with one external part. You would have to program it.

There is next to no sense at all in it.

The first few numbers/letters may tell you something but not a lot.

The first 1 or 2 digits is usually the heater voltage.

so you have a 300mA heater??
