The 1-step temperature measurement has a precision of about ±3°C.
2-step measurement
This method requires 2 acquisitions and a precision resistor (R
REF
) connected between CAL and GND pin, (the
RTD is always connected between RTD and GND pin). The first acquisitions measure the voltage across the
precision resistor in the same condition (source current and PGA gain) of the next temperature measurement in
order to remove the uncertainty on the current source value. The second acquisition measures the voltage
across the RTD (similar to the 1-step measure), in this case the formula to calculate the temperature is a little bit
more complicate in order to take in account the non-ideality of the system (source current error).
Temp(°C) = (Pt

_calculated – Pt

where
• alpha is the thermal coefficient of the RTD (it depends on the selected Ptres)
• Ptres_nominal is the value of the Ptres at 0degC (4)
Pt

RES
/PGA_GAIN)/I_true
where
• VOUT_Pt
RES
is the amplified voltage across the RTD at VOUT pin (ground referred), when the LMP91200 is
configured according to Table 4
• I_true is the real current which alternatively flows in the external precison resistance R
REF
and in the RTD
• PGA_GAIN is the selected gain of the PGA (5)
I_true=(VOUT_R
REF
)/(PGA_GAIN*R
REF
)
where
• VOUT_R
REF
is the amplified voltage across the R
REF
at VOUT pin (ground referred), when the LMP91200 is
configured according to Table 3 (6)
Inserting Equation 5 and Equation 6 in Equation 4 the temperature is given by the following equation:
Temp(°C) = ((VOUT_Pt

/VOUT_R

)*R
