GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT70 provides excitation and signal conditioning for
resistance-temperature devices (RTDs). It is ideally suited for
1 kΩ Platinum RTDs (PRTDs), allowing a very wide range of
temperature measurement. It can also easily interface to 100 Ω
PRTDs. Using a remote, low cost thin-film PRTD, the ADT70
can measure temperature in the range of –50°C to +500°C.
With high performance platinum elements, the temperature
change can be extended to 1000°C. Accuracy of the ADT70
and PRTD system over a –200°C to +1000°C temperature
range heavily depends on the quality of the PRTD. Typically
the ADT70 will introduce an error of only ±1°C over the
transducer's temperature range, and the error may be trimmed
to zero at a single calibration point.

The ADT70 consists of two matched 1 mA (nominal) current
sources for transducer and reference resistor excitation, a preci-
sion rail-to-rail output instrumentation amplifier, a 2.5 V refer-
ence and an uncommitted rail-to-rail output op amp. The
ADT70 includes a shutdown function for battery powered
equipment, which reduces the quiescent current from 4 mA to
less than 10 µA. The ADT70 operates from either single +5 V
or ±5 V supplies. Gain or full-scale range for the PRTD and
ADT70 system is set by a precision external resistor connected
to the instrumentation amplifier. The uncommitted op amp may
be used for scaling the internal voltage reference, providing a
“PRTD open” signal or “over-temperature” warning, a heater
switching signal, or other external conditioning determined by
the user.
