Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

This article revisits the building blocks used in the design of many RTD-based temperature sensors and discusses the limitations that these impose on a sensor’s application. It then shows how to ...

An earlier Design Idea described how to linearize the output of an RTD (resistance-temperature-detector) sensor and how to calculate the resistor values using a spreadsheet (Reference 1). That idea ...

Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are among the most versatile and accurate of the commonly used temperature sensors. However, the typical RTD’s temperature response consists ...

This software-controlled RTD emulator produces voltages that cover the output range of the sensor. It supports all three RTD wiring configurations and associated sense-wire configurations.

Omega’s new RTDM12 series of compact RTD temperature sensors are extremely rugged with a molded (IP67) 4-pin connector with M12 male thread and a fast response time. This RTD plug is suited for ...
