The key considerations in the design of a 3-wire RTD circuit are the accuracy, stability and noise of the measurement, accuracy of the lead-wire compensation and self-heating of the sensor. Stability of the measurement is determined by the offset and gain drift of the ADC and by the drift of the external reference resistor. Measurement noise is determined by the ADC sample rate and by the digital filter settings. These parameters are not summarized here. Table 45 summarizes the basic design goals for a 3-wire Pt100 RTD.

RTD sensor type | 3-wire Pt100 |
