TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT USING AN RTD
To optimize a 3-wire RTD configuration, two identically
matched current sources are required. The AD7792/AD7793,
which contain two well-matched current sources, are ideally
suited to these applications. One possible 3-wire configuration
is shown in Figure 21. In this 3-wire configuration, the lead
resistances result in errors if only one current is used, as the
excitation current flows through RL1, developing a voltage error
between AIN1(+) and AIN1(–). In the scheme outlined, the
second RTD current source is used to compensate for the error
introduced by the excitation current flowing through RL1. The
second RTD current flows through RL2. Assuming RL1 and
RL2 are equal (the leads would normally be of the same

material and of equal length), and IOUT1 and IOUT2 match,
the error voltage across RL2 equals the error voltage across RL1,
and no error voltage is developed between AIN1(+) and
AIN1(–). Twice the voltage is developed across RL3 but,
because this is a common-mode voltage, it does not introduce
errors. The reference voltage for the AD7792/AD7793 is also
generated using one of these matched current sources. It is
developed using a precision resistor and applied to the
differential reference pins of the ADC. This scheme ensures that
the analog input voltage span remains ratiometric to the
reference voltage. Any errors in the analog input voltage due to
the temperature drift of the excitation current are compensated
by the variation of the reference voltage.
