All the current flowing through the 2 kΩ resistor flows is performed by replacing the thermocouple junction with plain through the output Darlington pass devices. A Darlington con- thermocouple wire and a millivolt source set at 0.0000 V (0°C) figuration is used to minimize loss of output current to the base. and adjusting RO for EOUT equal to 0.000 V. Set the millivolt source to +0.02185 V (400°C) and adjust RG for VOUT equal to FDH333 +4.000 V. This application circuit will produce a nonlinearized 162k Ω +VOSS output of about +10 mV/°C for a 0°C to +400°C range. 12N3906V17SIGLF441(2)–VISSR0-10VG1000pF19AD5905k–VAD210OSS13.7k 10k2THERMAL1816CONTACTVOUTAD OP-07I1OUT1714+VISS"J"+V3OSSA119AD21015–VISS–V4OSSI252.3 Ω OUT220pF183029RETURNCOLDJUNCTION+15V+V3R14+VOSSG100kISS Figure 18.
