Figure 65. Low Power Linearized RTD Circuit
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

resistance with respect to the bridge resistance due to the change
in temperature at the RTD.
