What is an RTD?

• Resistive Temperature Detector

• Sensor with a predictable resistance vs. temperature

• Measure the resistance and calculate temperature based on the

Resistance vs. Temperature characteristics of the RTD material

How does an RTD work?

• The product n*u decreases over temperature, therefore resistance

increases over temperature (PTC)

• Linear Model of Conductor Resistivity Change vs. Temperature

• L = Wire Length

• A = Wire Area

• e = Electron Charge

(1.6e-19 Coulombs)

• n = Electron Density

• u = Electron Mobility

•Have relatively linear change in resistance over temp

•Have high resistivity allowing for smaller dimensions

•Either Thin-Film or Wire-Wound

How Accurate is an RTD? • Absolute accuracy is “Class” dependant - defined by DIN-IEC 60751. Allows for easy

interchangeability of field sensors

• Repeatability usually very good, allows for individual sensor calibration

• Long-Term Drift usually <0.1C/year, can get as low as 0.0025C/year

*AAA (1/10DIN) is not included in the DIN-IEC-60751 spec but is an industry accepted tolerance class for high-performance

measurements

**Manufacturers may choose to guarantee operation over a wider temperature range than the DIN-IEC60751 provides

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR TI REFERENCE DESIGNSTexas Instruments Incorporated ("TI") reference designs are solely intended to assist designers (“Buyers”) who are developing systems thatincorporate TI semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”). Buyer understands and agrees that Buyer remainsresponsible for using its independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing Buyer’s systems and products.TI reference designs have been created using standard laboratory conditions and engineering practices. TI has not conducted anytesting other than that specifically described in the published documentation for a particular reference design. TI may makecorrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its reference designs.Buyers are authorized to use TI reference designs with the TI component(s) identified in each particular reference design and to modify thereference design in the development of their end products. HOWEVER, NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPELOR OTHERWISE TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGYOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right,or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used.Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or awarranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectualproperty of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.TI REFERENCE DESIGNS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS". TI MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH REGARD TO THEREFERENCE DESIGNS OR USE OF THE REFERENCE DESIGNS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ACCURACY ORCOMPLETENESS. TI DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESSFOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, QUIET POSSESSION, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS WITH REGARD TO TI REFERENCE DESIGNS OR USE THEREOF. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLEFOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY BUYERS AGAINST ANY THIRD PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TOOR IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF COMPONENTS PROVIDED IN A TI REFERENCE DESIGN. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BELIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, ON ANYTHEORY OF LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT TI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING INANY WAY OUT OF TI REFERENCE DESIGNS OR BUYER’S USE OF TI REFERENCE DESIGNS.TI reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its semiconductor products and services perJESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevantinformation before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All semiconductor products are soldsubject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s termsand conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques for TI components are used to the extent TIdeems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is notnecessarily performed.TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products andapplications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provideadequate design and operating safeguards.Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books, data sheets or reference designs is permissible only if reproduction iswithout alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable forsuch altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirementsconcerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or supportthat may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards thatanticipate dangerous failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of dangerous failures and take appropriateremedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components inBuyer’s safety-critical applications.In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is tohelp enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards andrequirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the partieshave executed an agreement specifically governing such use.Only those TI components that TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use inmilitary/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components thathave not been so designated is solely at Buyer's risk, and Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatoryrequirements in connection with such use.TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use ofnon-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
