DESCRIPTION

The
LTC
2983
measures a wide variety of temperature
®
sensors and digitally outputs the result, in °C or °F , with
0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. The LTC2983 can
measure the temperature of virtually all standard (type B,
E, J, K, N, S, R, T) or custom thermocouples, automatically
compensate for cold junction temperatures and linearize
the results. The device can also measure temperature with
standard 2-, 3- or 4-wire RTDs, thermistors and diodes. It
has 20 reconfigurable analog inputs enabling many sen-
sor connections and configuration options. The LTC2983
includes excitation current sources and fault detection
circuitry appropriate for each type of temperature sensor.
The LTC2983 allows direct interfacing to ground referenced
sensors without the need for level shifters, negative supply
voltages, or external amplifiers. All signals are buffered and
simultaneously digitized with three high accuracy, 24-bit ∆∑
ADCs, driven by an internal 15ppm/°C (maximum) reference.
