Appendix
Figure 37 shows the same multiplexer configuration with the RTD at maximum temperature, where T
MAX
=
+850°C. At this point, the differential input voltage to the PGA is equal to 186 mV, the maximum value for
this configuration.

= +850°C, PT100 RTD)
Figure 38 shows how the current sources can be programmed to accommodate different types of RTDs.
The previous example used a 100-Ω RTD, or PT100. In this example the RTD type has been changed to
1000 Ω, or PT1000. The current sources I
1
and I
2
are scaled from 500 µA to 50 µA to accommodate this
new resistance. R
Z1
and R
CM
are also scaled appropriately. Note that I
1
and I
2
are matched current sources
that are programmed by one set of DACs (an 8-bit coarse DAC and 8-bit fine DAC). These current
sources are programmed during the calibration procedure.
