LTC2983 Multi-Sensor High Accuracy Digital Temperature Measurement System FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Directly Digitize RTDs, Thermocouples, Thermistors The LTC®2983 measures a wide variety of temperature and Diodes sensors and digitally outputs the result, in °C or °F, with n Single 2.85V to 5.25V Supply 0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. The LTC2983 can n Results Reported in °C or °F measure the temperature of virtually all standard (type B, n 20 Flexible Inputs Allow Interchanging Sensors E, J, K, N, S, R, T) or custom thermocouples, automatically n Automatic Thermocouple Cold Junction Compensation compensate for cold junction temperatures and linearize n Built-In Standard and User-Programmable Coefficients the results. The device can also measure temperature with for Thermocouples, RTDs and Thermistors standard 2-, 3- or 4-wire RTDs, thermistors and diodes. It n Configurable 2-, 3- or 4-Wire RTD Configurations has 20 reconfigurable analog inputs enabling many sen- n Measures Negative Thermocouple Voltages sor connections and configuration options. The LTC2983 n Automatic Burn Out, Short-Circuit and Fault Detection includes excitation current sources and fault detection n Buffered Inputs Allow External Protection circuitry appropriate for each type of temperature sensor. n Simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz Rejection The LTC2983 allows direct interfacing to ground referenced n Includes 15ppm/°C (Max) Reference (I-Grade) sensors without the need for level shifters, negative supply APPLICATIONS voltages, or external amplifiers. All signals are buffered and n simultaneously digitized with three high accuracy, 24-bit ∆∑ Direct Thermocouple Measurements n ADCs, driven by an internal 15ppm/°C (maximum) reference.
