High accuracy, stability, and wide operating range make platinum RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) popular temperature transducers. Signal conditioning these devices requires care to utilize their desirable characteristics. Figure 412.1’s bridge-based circuit is highly accurate and features a ground referred RTD. The ground connection is often desirable for noise rejection. The bridge’s RTD leg is driven by a current source while the opposing bridge ...
