TIDA-00168 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Thermocouple AFE Using RTD or Integrated Temperature Sensor for Cold Junction Compensation (CJC)

Description

The sole objective of this reference design is to provide comprehensive details on how to design a simple: robust: and accurate analog front end (AFE) circuit for making precision temperature measurements with thermocouple sensors. TIDA-00168 explains the theory: operation: and complications involved in a step-by-step manner. Additionally: this reference design emphasizes topics like error analysis: the necessity of an anti-aliasing filter: biasing resistors for sensor diagnostics: CJC: linearization technique for sensor data: and the design challenges of printed circuit boards.
