There is a variety of temperature sensors on the market
all of which meet specific application needs. The most
common sensors used to solve these application prob-
lems include the thermocouple, Resistive Temperature
Detector (RTD), Thermistor, and silicon based sensors.
For an overview and comparison of these sensors,
refer to Microchip’s
AN679, “Temperature Sensing
Technologies”
.
This application note focuses on circuit solutions that
use thermocouples in the design. The signal condition-
ing path for the thermocouple system will be discussed
in this application note followed by complete application
circuits.
