2-wire rtd circuit

Learn about the difference between two, three and four wire circuits used for RTDs. There is a significant difference in accuracy achieved with each. A fou

By connecting a zener diode in parallel with the RTD and an interface circuit specially designed for it, the lead-wire-resistance value can be accurately 

The simplest resistance thermometer configuration uses two wires. It is only used when high accuracy is not required, as the resistance of the connecting wires 

The circuit shown in Figure 1 is an integrated 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire resistance temperature detector (RTD) system based on the AD7124-4/AD7124-8 low power, low noise, 24-bit Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for high precision measurement applications. This circuit note uses a Class B Pt100 RTD sensor with an accura-

Normally a 2-wire RTD will lose accuracy due to the resistance in the cable, which can be thousands of feet long. The 3-wire RTD uses 1 additional wire and the 

A 2-wire RTD configuration is the simplest configuration. Three analog pins from the AD7124-4/AD7124-8 are used to implement the 2-wire configuration: AIN0, 

2-Wire RTD temperature sensors are commonly used in shorter distance measurements as compared to the 3 and 4-wire designs or where the electronic circuit is 

Thanks for your comments RogerFL. The 2-wire circuit you got it's right. Thanks for the correction, I'll make the change in my description.

So for using a 2-wire RTD as a 4-wire RTD, make connections as follows. Connect a cable parallel to both the existing cables. Make connections at all terminals as shown in the figure. Here also we can do connections in 2 types of configurations. But always keep in mind that the accuracy of temperature measurement decreases if we convert 2-wire

Try to lower or increase the values and estimate the output voltage (V OUT ). In all cases V OUT should be equal to the RTD*10 -3, as long as the current source is set to 1mA. Simulate a 2 wire RTD sensor by setting the R W1 value to zero and by deleting the lower circuit branch containing R W4 and R 4. Check how the wire length affects the V OUT.
