Linear Technology PR: LTC2983 Universal Temperature Sensor IC Linearizes Temperature Sensors with 0.1°C Accuracy

MILPITAS, CA - November 24, 2014 - Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2983 high performance digital temperature measurement IC which directly digitizes RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors and external diodes with 0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. A high performance analog front end combines low noise and low offset buffered ADCs with all the necessary excitation and control circuits for each sensor. Measurements are performed under the control of a digital engine combining all the algorithms and linearization required for each. The LTC2983 provides a multiplexed high precision interface to virtually any sensor. It precisely measures absolute microvolt level signals from thermocouples and ratiometric resistance measurements from RTDs and thermistors, linearizes the results and outputs the results in °C or °F. Up to twenty analog inputs are available and digitized measurements can be output in Centigrade or Fahrenheit. The SPI interface works with virtually any digital system and a comprehensive software support system with drop-down menus allows easy customizing of the LTC2983.
