TIDA-00110 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Analog Front End (AFE) for Sensing Temperature in Smart Grid Applications Using RTD Reference Design

Description

This reference design enables up to 4 Resistor Temperature Detectors (RTD) to be connected through one ADC in manner such that the solution is both compact and modular. Communication from the ADC to the processor is though an SPI interface. If 8 RTDs are required for an application: simply connect up one more of these modules. This solution is flexible to where it can handle 2 wire: 3 wire or 4 wire type RTDs.

Features
  • Based on the ADS1248 24-Bit Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) ADC With Internal PGA and Selectable Gain up to 128Can Measure 2-: 3-: or 4-Wire RTD InputsMultiplexer (Analog Switch) to Switch Excitation Currents for Four RTD InputsUses Ratiometric Measurement for Higher AccuracyAccuracy I2C I/O Expander for ADC Interface Control and Excitation Current Switching Provided (No External I/Os Required)
