This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

Bridge circuits have long been popular for conditioning signals from resistive sensors. These circuits are sensitive to small changes in resistance, and they provide a differential output from a ...

The circuit shown in Figure 1 is a completely isolated 4-channel temperature measurement circuit optimized for performance, input flexibility, robustness, and low cost. It supports all types of ...

In this first article in a two-part series, we discuss resistance temperature detector (RTD) circuit design for a functionally safe system and introduce considerations for the Route 2S component ...

The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

Sometimes, it's necessary to make microvolt measurements in the presence of volts. For example, the need arose to measure the thermoelectric potentials in an RTD ...

Control the temperature of the fluids and air servicing a building. The costs of ignoring temperature accuracy in energy measurement (British Thermal Unit) can be worse than expected. Inaccuracy ...
