Figure 3-3 illustrates the block diagram of the lab setup for simulating temperature measurement. The purpose of this setup is to record RTD1 and RTD10's differential voltages. These two RTDs have the highest (High Vcm) and lowest (Low Vcm) common mode voltages, respectively. All RTDs are connected in series and current is biased by Rset. During data collection, Rset is set to three different values thus three sets of data are collected.
Following equations in Section 2.2.2, with IRTD set to 0.497 mA, 0.995 mA, and 1.49 mA, the Rset, Rref, Gain, and % positive FSR are calculated and illustrates in Table 3-1.
Setup 1 | Setup 2 | Setup 3 | |
---|---|---|---|
IRTD [mA] | 0.497 | 0.995 | 1.49 |
Rset [Ω] | 4.5k | 750 | 500 |
Rref [Ω] | 4.76k | 2.18k | 1.1k |
Gain | 16 | 8 | 4 |
% positive FSR used | 90.8% | 99.1% | 98.2% |
Figure 3-4 illustrates how (circled in red) to modify PGA gain, configure mux, and read the returned codes on GUI.
The ADS1282EVM-PDK GUI returns values with 2 formats, codes and voltage. The codes is a 31 bits data and is used to calculate RTD resistance with the following equation, and the calculated value is compared with the actual resistor value for error analysis.
