ADuCM360
In the circuit, the ADuCM360/ADuCM361 is connected to a
thermocouple and a 100 Ω platinum resistance temperature
detector (RTD). The RTD is used for cold junction compensation.
In the source code, an ADC sampling rate of 4 Hz is chosen. When
the ADC input programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is configured
for a gain of 32, the noise-free code resolution of the ADuCM360/
ADuCM361 is greater than 18 bits.
CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
This circuit uses the ADuCM360/ADuCM361 precision analog
microcontroller in an accurate thermocouple temperature
monitoring application. The ADuCM360/ADuCM361 integrates
dual 24-bit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs),
dual programmable current sources, a 12-bit digital-to-analog
