What WB unit are you using?  The outputs vary.  

A data sheet is not a complete design.  You need a power 
supply, noise and power spike filters if the thing is to be 
practical.  Taking an existing design and scaling it down 
is a good solution.  

If you just want to see lean, you could use a NB sensor.
