RTD replacement for cold junction compensation reference design in a temperature sensor

TIDA-010019

Design files

Overview

Temperature-sensing applications that use a thermocouple (TC) require an accurate local temperature sensor to achieve high accuracy. Solutions for design challenges such as cold-junction compensation (CJC) or including an ultra-low power TC analog front-end are highlighted and addressed in this reference design. Performance in terms of power consumption and accuracy is optimized for accurate 4 to 20 mA sensors while also demonstrating the performance of different CJC and TC front-end implementations.

Features
  • Ultra-low power TC front end: < 200 µA
  • RTD type performance with silicon temperature sensors
  • 16-bit ADC for 0.05 °C resolution
  • Comparing different CJC solutions
  • TC temperature from -270 °C to 1200 °C
