The RTD measurement circuit uses the voltage reference IC6 REF5025 HT to create a bias current for a 1000 0 RTD The reference voltage is 2 5 V This voltage is buffered IC7 OPA2333 B with a resistor divider network of R25 and R26 The resistor divider is used to reduce the reference voltage to 0 5 V This voltage is used to create a DC bias to the positive input to INA of IC7 The A amplifier of IC7 OPA2333 HT has the 1000 Q RTD in its feedback This amplifier holds the voltage across R24 to the bias value of 0 5 V This sets the current in the feedback RTD resistor to lkor 0 5 R24 As R24 is a fixed high precision resistor equal to 1000 Q ler 0 005 A and the voltage across the RTD at 0 C is 0 5 V As the temperature increases the voltage across the RTD increases at 0 0173 V C IC8 THS4521 is used to amplify the differential signal across the RTD The gain of IC8 is fixed by R19 R18 R20 R21 2 At 0 C the differential output is 2 x 0 5 1 V The output is then subject to change over temperature by 0 0346 V C The differential amplifier IC8 THS4521 HT has its VOCM pin either as an open circuit or tied back to the ADS1278 VCOM pin using jumper block JP9 In the case of the RTD circuit a zero temperature creates a differential voltage of 0 5 V so an offset is accounted for in the display software 3 5 4 Channel 6 INA333 HT Instrumentation Amplifier Channel 6 of the ADS1278 HT is setup as a differential
