Design Steps

Vout=Vdd×RPTCRPTC+R1×R2||R4+R3R2||R4-R3R4×Vdd
  1. Calculate the value of R1 to produce a linear output voltage. Use the minimum and maximum values of the PTC to obtain a range of values for R1.
    RPTCMax=RPTC @ 50C=11.611 kΩ, RPTCMin=RPTC @ 0C=8.525 kΩ
    R1=RPTC @ 0C×RPTC @ 50C=8.525 kΩ×11.611 kΩ=9.95 kΩ10 kΩ
  2. Calculate the input voltage range.
    VinMin=Vdd×RPTCMinRPTCMin+R1=3.3 V×8.525 kΩ8.525 kΩ+10 kΩ=1.519 V
    VinMax=Vdd×RPTCMaxRPTCMax+R1=3.3 V×11.611 kΩ11.611 kΩ+10 kΩ=1.773 V
  3. Calculate the gain required to produce the maximum output swing.
    Gideal=VoutMax-VoutMinVinMax-VinMin=3.25 V-0.05 V1.773 V-1.519 V=12.598VV
  4. Solve for the parallel combination of R2 and R4 using the ideal gain. Select R3= 3 kΩ (Standard Value).
    R2||R4ideal=R3Gideal-1=3 kΩ12.598 VV-1=258.665 Ω
  5. Calculate R2 and R4 based off of the transfer function and gain.

    R4=R3×VddVinMax×Gideal-VoutMax=3 kΩ×3.3 V1.773 V×12.598 VV-3.25 V=518.698 Ω
    R2=R2||R4ideal×R4R4-R2||R4ideal=258.665 Ω ×518.698 Ω518.698 Ω-258.665 Ω=515.969 Ω
  6. Calculate the actual gain with the standard values of R2 (510 Ω) and R4 (510 Ω).
    Gactual=R2||R4+R3R2||R4=255 Ω +3 kΩ255 Ω= 12.764VV
