The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

It also cuts the number of RTD array connections (feedthroughs) from 4N to 4 + N. For 28 sensors, the resulting savings are 2N − 2 − N = 26 inputs and 4N − 4 − N = 80 feedthroughs.

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 ...

The nickel-thin-film RTD (resistance-temperature-detector) sensors provide a large change resistance in response to temperature changes at a lower cost than nickel wirewound RTD elements. The sensors ...

The DTG-RTD100 Series thermometer features a backlit display with 25-mm digits that can be read as far away as 10.7m The DTG-RTD100 Series thermometer features a backlit display with 25-mm digits ...
