Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • TEMPERATURE SENSOR WITH 4 TO 20mA CURRENT LOOP
    I designed a circuit similar to this one years ago to accurately measure the air temperature inside a building 1000s of feet from a control room.  The circuit uses the very robust current loop method.  It uses a highly accurate semiconductor temperature sensor and an equally accurate voltage reference. The circuit includes a diode bridge, so it is polarity independent.  By using the component values indicated, the circuit should not require calibration.  It has a range from –40F to +120F and an accuracy of plus or minus one degree F.

Temperature monitor measures three thermal zones:  12/11/03 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  You can use an ADT7461 single-channel temperature monitor; an ADG708 low-voltage, low-leakage CMOS 8-to-1 multiplexer; and three standard 2N3906 pnp transistors to measure the temperature of three separate remote thermal zones (Figure 1). Multiplexers have resistance, RON, associated with them; the channel matching and flatness of this resistance normally result in a varying temperature offset....
