This part transitions from RTD principles to ICs available for interfacing. ICs simplify the RTD interface As with their other resistor-based temperature-sensing components, the RTD looks simple to use. After all, it is a two-terminal resistor with no parasitics of consequence in the relatively slow-moving world of temperature sensing. Nonetheless, as with thermistors and many […]

Understanding and interfacing with RTDs: part 1
This versatile temperature sensor is one of many viable alternatives. Temperature is the most widely sensed real-world parameter, and knowing the temperature with some combination of accuracy, precision, and repeatability is critical in many applications. A widely used choice for the temperature sensor is the resistance temperature detector (RTD), a precision metal element usually made […]
