LTC2986/LTC2986-1
Multi-Sensor High
Accuracy Digital Temperature
Measurement System with EEPROM
DESCRIPTION
The
LTC 2986
measures a wide variety of temperature
sensors and digitally outputs the result, in °C or °F with
,
0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. The LTC2986 can
measure the temperature of virtually all standard (Type B,
E, J, K, N, S, R, T) or custom thermocouples, automatically
compensate for cold junction temperatures and linearize
the results. The device can also measure temperature
with standard 2-, 3- or 4-wire RTDs, thermistors, and
diodes. The LTC2986 includes excitation current sources
and fault detection circuitry appropriate for each type of
temperature sensor.

The LTC2986/LTC2986-1 are 10-channel software and pin-
compatible versions of the 20-channel LTC2983/LTC2984.
Additional features include special modes that enable easy
protection in universal multi-sensor applications, custom
tables for generic ADC readings, and direct temperature
readout from active analog temperature sensors. The
LTC2986-1 is the EEPROM version of the LTC2986.
