where δ = ∆R/R is the fractional deviation of the RTD resistance 
with respect to the bridge resistance due to the change in temper-
ature at the RTD. 
For δ << 1, the preceding expression becomes

SINGLE OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER BRIDGE 
The low input offset voltage drift of the OP1177 makes it very 
effective for bridge amplifier circuits used in RTD signal condi-
tioning. It is often more economical to use a single bridge 
operational amplifier as opposed to an instrumentation amplifier. 
In the circuit shown in Figure 66, the output voltage at the 
operational amplifier is
