Silicon
Diode sensors use a fixed excitation current of
10µA and an input voltage range of 0 to 2.25V. Negative and Positive Temperature Coefficient (NTC)
/ (PTC) resistor sensors are supported using a ratiometric bridge technique
to cancel low frequency noise. Platinum RTD sensors can use built-in DIN 43760 (IEC
750) standard setups for 100Ω or 1,000Ω devices. The Model
18 uses the DIN standard for temperatures from 70K to 1020K and extends
it for cryogenic use. Operation down to 14K is possible with user supplied
curves. A unique feature is the use of a ratiometric resistance bridge
technique to measure Platinum RTD sensors. This significantly reduces
low frequency noise and drift to provide rock-solid measurements. Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) sensors commonly used in cryogenic applications include Ruthenium-Oxide, Cernox™, Carbon Ceramic and several others. These sensors are supported by using a 10μA constant-current DC excitation with a 2.50V or 0.31V input range.
