compensation using a standard 3-wire connection. The circuit
operates on a single 3.3 V supply. The total error after room
temperature calibration is less than ±0.24% FSR for a ±10°C

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The input stage of the circuit is an RTD signal conditioning circuit
using a compensated 3-wire connection to the RTD. The circuit
translates the RTD input resistance range (100 Ω to 212.05 Ω
for a 0°C to 300°C temperature range) into voltage levels
compatible with the input range of the ADC (0 V to 2.5 V).
The excitation current for the RTD is supplied by op amp U1C
that is one-fourth of the quad AD8608. A reference voltage, VR,
of 100 mV is developed by the R8/R9 divider driven by the 2.5 V
ADC reference. This in turn produces an RTD excitation
current of VR/(R1||R2), approximately 1.05 mA.
The excitation current produces a voltage change of
approximately 117.6 mV (105 mV to 222.6 mV) across the RTD
for a temperature change of 0°C to 300°C. The U1A op amp
amplifies this voltage change by 19.6, producing an output span
of 2.3 V. Resistor R2 added in parallel with Resistor R1 shifts the
output range so that the U1A op amp output is 0.1 V to 2.4 V,
which matches the input range of the ADC (0 V to 2.5 V) with
100 mV headroom to maintain linearity. The resistor values can
be modified to accommodate other popular temperature ranges
as described later in this circuit note.
The circuit design allows single supply operation. The minimum
output voltage specification for the AD8608 is 50 mV for a 2.7 V
power supply and 290 mV for a 5 V power supply with 10 mA
load current, over the temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
A minimum output voltage of 45 mV to 60 mV is a conservative
estimate for a 3.3 V power supply, a load current of less than
1 mA, and a narrower temperature range.
Considering the tolerances of the parts, the minimum output
voltage (low limit of the range) is set to 100 mV to allow for a
safety margin. The upper limit of the output range is set to 2.4 V
in order to give 100 mV headroom for the positive swing at the
ADC input. Therefore, the nominal output voltage range of the
op amp is 0.1 V to 2.4 V.
The op amp U1B is used to buffer the internal 2.5 V voltage
reference of the AD7091R (U3) ADC.
The quad AD8608 op amp is chosen for this application because of
its low offset voltage (75 µV maximum), low bias current (1 pA
maximum), and low noise (12 nV/√Hz maximum). Power
dissipation is only 18.5 mW on a 3.3 V supply.
The U1D op amp provides the 3-wire correction signal that
compensates for the errors produced by the lead resistances r1
and r2. The gain from Point A to TP1 is +19.6, and the gain
from Point B to TP1 is −39.2. The voltage at Point A includes a
positive error term that is equal to the voltage dropped across r1
and r2. The voltage at Point B contains a positive error term
equal to the voltage dropped across r2, neglecting the small drop
across r3. Because the gain from Point B to TP1 is negative and
twice the gain from Point A to TP1, the errors due to the voltages
dropped across r1 and r2 are cancelled, assuming that r1 = r2.
A single-pole RC filter (R11/C9) follows the op amp output
stage to reduce the out-of-band noise. The cutoff frequency of
the RC filter is set to 664 kHz. Additional second order filters
(adding capacitors C10 and C11) are used for reducing the filter
cutoff frequency in case of low frequency industrial noise. In
this case, AD7091R is not operating at maximum throughput
rate. To increase the conversion speed C10 and C11 should be
left unpopulated.
The AD7091R 12-bit 1 MSPS SAR ADC is chosen because of its
ultralow power 349 μA at 3.3 V (1.2 mW) which is significantly
lower than any competitive ADC currently available in the market.
The AD7091R also contains an internal 2.5 V reference with
±4.5 ppm/oC typical drift. The input bandwidth is 7.5 MHz,
and the high speed serial interface is SPI compatible. The
AD7091R is available in a small footprint 10-lead MSOP.
The total power dissipation of the circuit (excluding the
ADuM5401 isolator) is approximately 20 mW when operating
on a 3.3 V supply.
Galvanic isolation is provided by the ADuM5401 (C Grade) quad
channel digital isolator. In addition to the isolated output data,
the ADuM5401 also provides isolated +3.3 V for the circuit.
The ADuM5401 is not required for normal circuit operation
unless isolation is needed. The ADuM5401 quad-channel,
2.5 kV isolators with integrated dc-to-dc converter, is available
in a small 16-lead SOIC. Power dissipation of the ADuM5401
with a 7 MHz clock is approximately 140 mW.
The AD7091R requires a 50 MHz serial clock (SCLK) to achieve
a 1 MSPS sampling rate. However, the ADuM5401 (C-grade)
isolator has a maximum data rate of 25 Mbps that corresponds
to a maximum serial clock frequency of 12.5 MHz. In addition,
the SPI port requires that the trailing edge of the SCLK clock
the output data into the processor, therefore the total round-trip
propagation delay through the ADuM5401 (120 ns maximum)
limits the upper clock frequency to 1/120 ns = 8.3 MHz.
Even though the AD7091R is a 12-bit ADC, the serial data is
formatted into a 16-bit word to be compatible with the
processor serial port requirements. The sampling period, TS,
therefore consists of the AD7091R 650 ns conversion time plus
58 ns (extra time required from data sheet, t1 delay + tQUIET
delay) plus 16 clock cycles for the SPI interface data transfer.
TS = 650 ns + 58 ns + 16 × 120 ns = 2628 ns
fS = 1/TS = 1/2628 ns = 380 kSPS
In order to provide a safety margin, a maximum SCLK of
7 MHz and a maximum sampling rate of 300 kSPS is
recommended. The digital SPI interface can be connected to the
microprocessor evaluation board using the 12-pin Pmodcompatible connector (Digilent Pmod Specifications).

Figure 2. RTD Signal Conditioning Circuit Using a Three-Wire Connection
Circuit Design
The circuit shown in Figure 2 converts the RTD resistance
change from 100 Ω to 212.05 Ω to an output voltage change of
0.1 V to 2.4 V, which is compatible with the ADC input range.
In addition, the circuit removes the errors associated with the
wiring resistances r1 and r2.
Calculation of the Gain, Output Offset, and Resistor
Values and Tolerances.
For temperature range of 0°C to 300oC, the RTD Pt100 resistance
range is 100 Ω to 212.05 Ω, and the input resistance change, ΔR,
for the circuit in Figure 2 is 0 Ω to 112.05 Ω. Therefore, the gain
of the circuit from Equation 3 is:
The transfer function of the circuit in Figure 2 is obtained using

An easy way to ensure Equation 2 is met is to use the following
relationships:
R5 = 2R3, R6′ = R5||R4, as shown in Figure 1.
If this condition is met, R1′ = R0 = 100 Ω at 0°C, and VOUT = 0 V.
The output offset of the circuit must now be set to 0.1 V. An
easy way to shift the output is to make the resistor R1′ slightly
less than R0. Note that this affects the gain proportionally. The
output offset of 0.1 V is approximately 4.35% of the total span of
2.3 V, therefore the ratio R1′/R0 must be less than 0.9565. To
keep the high output level equal to 2.4 V, the ratio R4/R3 can be
proportionally corrected. For example, R4 = 0.9565 × 41.06 ×
R3 = 39.27 kΩ. Using standard resistors values as shown in
Figure 1, the circuit gives a good approximation to the required
gain and the output offset. Resistor R1′ is formed by connecting
Resistor R2 = 1.91 kΩ in parallel with resistor R1 = 100 Ω.

For any other temperature ranges or for any other temperature

Choose a value for R3 (for example, 1 kΩ), and then make

Choose the excitation current through the sensor IR and
then calculate VR = IR × RX_low
where RX_low = the resistance of the RTD at the lowest
temperature of the range.
Choose a value for R9 (for example, R9 = 1 kΩ), and then
calculate R8:

RX_high = the resistance of the RTD at the highest
temperature of the range.
Calculate R0 = RX_low – A.
Calculate R0 = R1 × R2/(R1 + R2) and choose the values for
R1 and R2.
It is recommended to choose a standard value for R1 that is
equal to RX_low, and then calculate R2.

B=

where B= a temporary constant needed for this calculation

Calculate R4 = B × R3, and ensure that R12 = R4.
Accuracy Analysis
Equation 1 shows that all resistors influence the total error. If
these values are chosen carefully, the overall error due to
substituting standard value resistors can be made less than a few
percent. However, use Equation 1 to recalculate the U1A op
amp output for 100 Ω and 212.05 Ω inputs to ensure that the
required headroom is preserved. In the actual circuit the nearest
available standard resistors values were chosen. The Resistors
Rl, R2, R8, and R9 are 0.1%, 25 ppm/°C. The other resistors in
the circuit are 1%, 100 ppm/°C: R3, R4, R5, R6, and R12.
The absolute accuracy in this type of circuit is primarily
determined by the resistors, and therefore gain and offset
calibration is required to remove the error due to standard value
substitution and resistor tolerances.
Effect of Resistor Temperature Coefficients on Overall Error
Equation 1 shows that the output voltage is a function of nine
resistors: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R8, R9, and R12.
The sensitivity of the full-scale output voltage at TP1 to small
changes in each of the nine resistors was calculated using a
simulation program. The input RTD resistance to the circuit
was 212 Ω. The individual sensitivities calculated were SR1 = 1.83,
SR2 = 0.09, SR3 = 0.94, SR4 = 0.94, SR5 = 1.35, SR6 = 1.28. SR8 = 0.97,
SR9 = 0.96, and SR12 = 0.07. Assuming that the individual temperature coefficients combine in a root-sum-square (rss) manner, then
the overall full-scale drift 25 ppm/°C resistors for R1, R2, R8, R9,
and 100 ppm/°C resistors for R3, R4, R5, R6, R12 is approximately:
Full scale drift
= 25 ppm/°C√[(SR1)2 +(SR2)2 +(4SR3)2 + (4SR4)2 + (4SR5)2 +
(4SR6)2 + (SR8)2 + (SR9)2 + (4SR12)2)]
= 25 ppm/°C√(1.832 +0.092 + 3.762 + 3.762 + 5.42 + 5.122 +
0.972 +0.962 + 0.282)
= 236 ppm/°C
The full-scale drift of 236 ppm/°C corresponds to 0.024% FSR/°C.
For a ±10°C change in temperature, the error is ±0.24% FSR.
Using 25 ppm/°C resistors for all nine resistors reduces the fullscale drift to approximately 80 ppm/°C, or 0.008% FSR/°C.
The error caused by the tolerances of the resistors, the offset of the
AD8608 op amps (75 µV), and the ADC AD7091R is eliminated
after the calibration procedure. It is still necessary to calculate
and verify that the op amp output is within the required range.
Effect of Active Component Temperature Coefficients on
Overall Error
The dc offsets of the AD8608 op amps (75 µV) and the
AD7091R ADC are eliminated by the calibration procedure.
The offset drift of the ADC AD7091R internal reference is
4.5 ppm/°C typical and 25 ppm/°C maximum.
The offset drift of the AD8608 op op amp is 1 μV/°C typical and
4.5 μV/°C maximum.
Note that resistor drift is the largest contributor to total drift if
50 ppm/°C or 100 ppm/°C resistors are used, and the drift due
to active components can be neglected.
Lead Wire Resistance Compensation
The circuit in Figure 1 realizes full compensation for the lead
wire resistances (r1, r2, and r3). However, if there is any mismatch in
Equation 3, the lead wires r1 and r2 add errors to the measurement.
The third lead wire r3 does not have any effect on the circuit
because it is connected to the high impedance input of U1D.
The linearity of the circuit is not affected by the lead wires r1
and r2, even if there is mismatch in Equation 3.
RTD Linearization
The circuit in Figure 1 is linear with respect to the resistance
change of the RTD. However, the transfer function of the RTD
(resistance vs. temperature) is nonlinear. Therefore, linearization is
needed to eliminate the nonlinearity error of the RTD. For systems
in which a microcontroller is involved, this linearization is typically
done in the software. The AN-709 Application Note discusses
some linearization techniques for Pt100 RTD sensor. The same
techniques are used in the CN0337 evaluation software to
eliminate the nonlinearity error of the Pt100 sensor.

Test Data Before and After Two-Point Calibration
PCB Layout Considerations
To perform the two-point calibration, a 100 Ω precision resistor is
first applied to the input, and the ADC output code is recorded
as Code_1. Then a 212.05 Ω precision resistor is applied to the
input, and the ADC output code is recorded as Code_2. The
gain factor is calculated by
In any circuit where accuracy is crucial, it is important to
consider the power supply and ground return layout on the
board. The PCB should isolate the digital and analog sections as
much as possible. The PCB for this system was constructed in a
simple 2-layer stack up, but 4-layer stack up gives better EMS.
See the MT-031 Tutorial for more discussion on layout and
grounding and the MT-101 Tutorial for information on
decoupling techniques. Decouple the power supply to AD8608
with 10 μF and 0.1 μF capacitors to properly suppress noise and
reduce ripple. Place the capacitors as close to the device as
possible, with the 0.1 μF capacitor having a low ESR value.
Ceramic capacitors are advised for all high frequency decoupling.
Power supply lines should have as large trace width as possible
to provide low impedance path and reduce glitch effects on the
supply line. The ADuM5401 isoPower integrated dc-to-dc
converter requires power supply bypassing at the input and
output supply pins. Note that low ESR bypass capacitors are
required between Pin 1 and Pin 2 and between Pin 15 and Pin
16, as close to the chip pads as possible. To suppress noise and
reduce ripple, a parallel combination of at least two capacitors is
required. The recommended capacitor values are 0.1 μF and
10 μF for VDD1 and VISO. The smaller capacitor must have a low
ESR, for example, use of a ceramic capacitor is advised. The
total lead length between the ends of the low ESR capacitor and
the input power supply pin must not exceed 2 mm. Installing
the bypass capacitor with traces more than 2 mm in length may
result in data corruption. Consider bypassing between Pin 1
and Pin 8 and between Pin 9 and Pin 16 unless both common
ground pins are connected together close to the package. For
more information, see ADuM5401 datasheet.

The RTD resistance can now be calculated corresponding to
any output code, Code_x, using the equation:
R X  100   GF ( Code_x  Code_1) .
The error before calibration is obtained by comparing the ideal
transfer function calculated using the nominal values of the
components, and real circuit transfer function without
calibration. The tested circuits have been built with ±1%,
±100 ppm/°C resistors with the exception of R1, R2, R8, and R9
which are ±0.1%, ±25 ppm/°C. The tests were conducted with
the printed circuit board (PCB) at room ambient temperature.
The graph in Figure 3 shows test results for few tested boards
before and after calibration (without temperature changes). As
it is shown, the maximum error before calibration is about
0.27% FSR. After calibration, the error decreases to
±0.037% FSR, which approximately corresponds to 1.5 LSB
error of the ADC.

This PCB is designed in adherence with 2500 V basic insulation

Appropriate care must be taken when using this evaluation
board at high voltages, and the PCB should not be relied on for
safety functions because it has not been high potential tested

R3 = 1 kΩ, R8 = 26.7 kΩ, R9 = 1.1 kΩ
The AD7091 is similar to the AD7091R, but without the voltage
reference output, and the input range is equal to the power
supply voltage. The AD7091 can be used with a 2.5 V ADR391
reference. The ADR391 does not require buffering.
The ADR391 is a precision 2.5 V band gap voltage reference,
featuring low power and high precision (9 ppm/°C of temperature
drift) in a tiny TSOT package.
The AD8605 and AD8606 are single and dual versions of the
quad AD8608 and can be used as a substitute for the AD8608, if
different configurations are needed.
The AD8601, AD8602, and AD8604 are single, dual, and quad
rail-to-rail, input and output, single-supply amplifiers featuring
very low offset voltage and wide signal bandwidth, that can be
used in place of AD8605, AD8606, and AD8608.
The AD7457 is a 12-bit, 100 kSPS, low power, SAR ADC, and
can be used in combination with the ADR391 voltage reference
in place of AD7091R, when a 300 kSPS throughput rate is not
needed.
CIRCUIT EVALUATION AND TEST
This circuit uses the EVAL-CN0337-PMDZ circuit board, the
SDP-PMD-IB1Z, and the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z system
demonstration platform (SDP) evaluation board. The SDPPMD-IB1Z interposer board and the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z SDP
board have 120-pin mating connectors. The interposer board
and the EVAL-CN0337-PMDZ board have 12-pin Pmod
matching connectors, allowing quick setup and evaluation of
Load the evaluation software by placing the CN0337 evaluation
software disc in the CD drive of the PC. You also can download
the most up to date copy of the evaluation software from
CN0337 evaluation software. Using the My Computer icon,
locate the drive that contains the evaluation software disc and
open the setup.exe file. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish
the installation. It is recommended to install all software
components to the default locations.

the USB cable.
Connect the EVAL-CN0337-PMDZ evaluation board to
the SDP-PMD-IB1Z interposer board via the 12-pin
header Pmod connector.
Connect the resistance decade box (Pt100 sensor) to the
EVAL-CN0337-PMDZ evaluation board via the terminal
block J2.
Test
Launch the evaluation software. The software can communicate
to the SDP board if the Analog Devices System Development
Platform drivers are listed in the Device Manager. After USB
communications are established, the SDP board can be used to
send, receive, and capture serial data from the EVAL-CN0337PMDZ board. Data can be saved in the computer for various
values of the input temperature (resistance). Information and
details regarding how to use the evaluation software for data
capturing can be found at CN0337 Software User Guide.
