- Calculate the value of R1 to produce a linear output voltage. Use the minimum and maximum values of the PTC to obtain a range of values for R1.
- Calculate the input voltage range.
- Calculate the gain required to produce the maximum output swing.
- Solve for the parallel combination of R2 and R4 using the ideal gain. Select R3= 3 kΩ (Standard Value).
Calculate R2 and R4 based off of the transfer function and gain.
- Calculate the actual gain with the standard values of R2 (510 Ω) and R4 (510 Ω).
