Abstract

See full text

In a temperature sensing circuit, a method for measuring a resistance of a RTD device to sense temperature includes (a) connecting a first terminal of the RTD device to a first current source and connecting a second terminal of the RTD device to a second current source; (b) measuring a first voltage across the RTD device; (c) connecting the second terminal of the RTD device to the first current source and connecting the first terminal of the RTD device to the second current source; (d) measuring a second voltage across the RTD device; and (e) deriving the resistance of the RTD device based on the first voltage measurement and the second voltage measurement. The RTD device may be connected in series with a sense resistor to ground.
