In Figure 2-5 the ADS1220 Delta-Sigma device is used to measure the resistance of two 4-wire PT sensors in series and passes the data to the MSP430 host MCU for conversion from a resistance value to a temperature value, as implemented in the TIDA-01526. There the 4-wire interface is part of the Kelvin connection, where two outer leads on RTD1 and RTD2 carry the measurement current IIDAC1 and the two inner leads are connected to AIN0-1 and AIN2-3 analog inputs of the ADS1220 to measure the voltage across RTD1 and RTD2 and thus their respective resistance values.
