Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.”With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA, ...

Many types of temperature sensors are available, and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) are one of the most common. To get the most from an RTD, you ...

4-Wire RTD Connection Diagram. A 4-wire RTD configuration offers the best performance. The only issue that system designers face is the cost of the sensor itself and the size of the 4-pin connector ...

This software-controlled RTD emulator produces voltages that cover the output range of the sensor. It supports all three RTD wiring configurations and associated sense-wire configuratio ...

Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design used in many RTD sensors that quietly and efficiently measure temperature in industrial manufacturing facilities worldwide. However, to meet the ...
