Dual-Channel, Platinum RTD-to-Voltage Signal Conditioner
General Description
The MAX6603 dual-channel, platinum RTD-to-voltage signal conditioner excites and amplifies the signal from two external 200 Ω platinum-resistive temperature devices (Pt RTD) to achieve high-voltage, level-filtered signals for temperature measurements. The MAX6603 provides a direct ratiometric output voltage to simplify the interface to microcontrollers with integrated analogto-digital converters (ADCs). External precision resistors and calibration processes are not needed. The MAX6603 provides the necessary signal-conditioning www.DataSheet4U.com functions, including ratiometric excitation current, amplification, buffered voltage outputs, diagnostic fault detections, and input protection.
