4 / 5 page CN-0221 Circuit Note Rev. C | Page 4 of 5 Figure 6 shows the error obtained when using ADC1 on the ADuCM360 to measure 52 thermocouple voltages over the full thermocouple operating range.

Error When Using Piecewise Linear Approximation Using 52 Calibration Points Measured by ADuCM360/ADuCM361 The RTD temperature is calculated using lookup tables and is implemented for the RTD the same way as for the thermocouple. Note that the RTD has a different polynomial describing its temperatures as a function of resistance. For details on linearization and maximizing the performance of the RTD, refer to Application Note AN-0970, RTD Interfacing and Linearization Using an ADuC706x Microcontroller. COMMON VARIATIONS Note that the ADuCM360/ADuCM361 can be programmed or debugged via a standard serial wire interface. For a standard UART to RS-232 interface, the FT232R transceiver can be replaced with a device such as the ADM3202, which requires a 3 V power supply. For a wider temperature range, a different thermocouple can be used, such as a Type J. To minimize the cold junction compensation error, a thermistor can be placed in contact with the actual cold junction instead of on the PCB. Instead of using the RTD and external reference resistor for measuring the cold junction temperature, an external digital temperature sensor can be used. For example, the ADT7410 can connect to the ADuCM360/ADuCM361 via the I2C interface. For more details on cold junction compensation, refer to Sensor Signal Conditioning, Analog Devices, Chapter 7, “Temperature Sensors.” If isolation between the USB connector and this circuit is required, the ADuM3160/ADuM4160 isolation devices must be added. CIRCUIT EVALUATION AND TEST To test and evaluate the circuit, the thermocouple measurements and the RTD measurements were evaluated separately. Thermocouple Measurement Test The basic test setup is shown in Figure 7. The thermocouple is connected to J5, and Jumper J1 must be installed to allow the AIN7/VBIAS pin to set the thermocouple common-mode voltage. The circuit board receives its power from the USB connection to the PC. Two methods were used to evaluate the performance of the circuit. Initially, the circuit was tested with the thermocouple attached to the board and it was used to measure the temperature of an ice bucket. Then, it was used to measure the temperature of boiling water. A Wavetek 4808 Multifunction Calibrator was used to fully evaluate the error, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6. In this mode, the thermocouple was replaced with the calibrator as the voltage source, as shown in Figure 7. To evaluate the entire range of a Type T thermocouple, the calibrator was used to set the equivalent thermocouple voltage at 52 points between −200°C to +350°C for the negative and positive ranges of the T-type thermocouple (see the ISE, Inc., ITS-90 Table for Type T Thermocouple). To evaluate the accuracy of the lookup algorithm, 551 voltage readings, equivalent to temperatures in the range of −200°C to +350°C spaced at +1°C, were passed onto the temperature calculation functions. Errors were calculated for the linear method and the piecewise linear approximation method as is shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
