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. PTC sensor types include Platinum and Rhodium-Iron. These sensors are supported by a passive AC resistance bridge. Resistance ranges are: 100Ω, 1.0KΩ and 10KΩ. The Model 44 provides robust support for the Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) sensors commonly used by cryogenic applications. They include Ruthenium-oxide, Carbon-Glass, Cernox™, Carbon Ceramic, Germanium and several others. Since these sensors have a negative temperature coefficient, the use of a constant-voltage measurement method will reduce, rather than increase, power dissipation in the sensor as temperature decreases. By maintaining the lowest possible power level, sensor self-heating is minimized and useful temperature range is greatly increased. The excitation source in the Model 44 is continuously variable so there are no significant steps in sensor self-heating. Voltage excitation values are 100mV, 10mV, 1.0mV and 100µV. Excitation frequency is 3.25Hz.
