  Circuit functions and advantages

  This circuit uses the ADuCM360 precision analog microcontroller in a precision thermocouple temperature monitoring application and controls the output current from 4mA to 20mA accordingly. ADuCM360 integrates dual-channel 24-bit Δ-type analog-to-digital converter (ADC), dual-channel programmable current source, 12-bit analog-to-analog converter (DAC), 1.2V built-in reference voltage source and ARM Cortex-M3 core, 126KB Flash memory, 8KB SRAM and various digital peripherals such as UART, timers, SPI and I2C interfaces.

  In this circuit, the ADuCM360 is connected to a T-type thermocouple and a 100 platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD). RTD is used for cold junction compensation. A low-power Cortex-M3 core converts ADC readings into actual temperature values. The supported T-type temperature range is −200°C to +350°C, and the output current range corresponding to this temperature range is 4mA to 20mA.

  This circuit provides a complete solution for thermocouple measurements, requires minimal external components, and can be loop powered for loop voltages up to 28V.

  Circuit functions and advantages

  The circuit shown in Figure 1 is a robust and flexible loop-powered current transducer that converts the differential voltage output of a pressure sensor into a 4 mA to 20 mA current output. The design is optimized for a variety of bridge-type voltage or current-driven pressure sensors, using only four active components and achieving a total unadjusted error of less than 1%. The loop supply voltage range is 12V to 36V. The inputs of this circuit are ESD protected and provide voltage protection above the supply rails, making it ideal for industrial applications.
