Key Document
Description
This reference design translates resistance temperature detectors (RTD) resistance to a voltage level convenient for an ADC input. A precision current reference provides excitation and an instrumentation amplifier scales the signal. The design also uses a three wire RTD configuration to minimize errors due to wiring resistance.
Features
- Converts RTD resistance to voltage
- 0 to 5V output across temperature range
- Eliminates lead resistance error
- Adjustable set with discrete resistors
