GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT70 provides excitation and signal conditioning for
resistance-temperature devices (RTDs). It is ideally suited for
1 k
Platinum RTDs (PRTDs), allowing a very wide range of
temperature measurement. It can also easily interface to 100
PRTDs. Using a remote, low cost thin-film PRTD, the ADT70
can measure temperature in the range of –50
°
C to +500
°
C.
With high performance platinum elements, the temperature
change can be extended to 1000
°
C. Accuracy of the ADT70
and PRTD system over a –200
°
C to +1000
°
C temperature
range heavily depends on the quality of the PRTD. Typically
the ADT70 will introduce an error of only
±
1
°
C over the
transducer's temperature range, and the error may be trimmed
to zero at a single calibration point.
The ADT70 consists of two matched 1 mA (nominal) current
sources for transducer and reference resistor excitation, a preci-
sion rail-to-rail output instrumentation amplifier, a 2.5 V refer-
ence and an uncommitted rail-to-rail output op amp. The
ADT70 includes a shutdown function for battery powered
equipment, which reduces the quiescent current from 4 mA to
less than 10
μ
A. The ADT70 operates from either single +5 V
or
±
5 V supplies. Gain or full-scale range for the PRTD and
ADT70 system is set by a precision external resistor connected
to the instrumentation amplifier. The uncommitted op amp may
be used for scaling the internal voltage reference, providing a
“PRTD open” signal or “over-temperature” warning, a heater
switching signal, or other external conditioning determined by
the user.
The ADT70 is specified for operation from
2
40
°
C to
1
125
°
C
and is available in 20-lead DIP and SO packages.
