In this application, the AD7715 is operated lead resistances present a small source impedance so it would in its buffered mode to allow large decoupling capacitors on the not generally be necessary to turn on the buffer on the AD7715. front end to eliminate any noise pickup that there may have If the buffer is required, the common-mode voltage should be been in the thermocouple leads. When the AD7715 is operated set accordingly by inserting a small resistance between the bottom in buffered mode, it has a reduced common-mode range. To place end of the RTD and AGND of the AD7715. In the application the differential voltage from the thermocouple on a suitable shown in Figure 16, an external 400 μA current source provides common-mode voltage, the AIN(−) input of the AD7715 is the excitation current for the PT100 and it also generates the biased up at the reference voltage, 2.5 V. reference voltage for the AD7715 via the 6.25 kΩ resistor. Varia- tions in the excitation current do not affect the circuit as both the Figure 16 shows another temperature measurement application input voltage and the reference voltage vary ratiometrically with for the AD7715. In this case, the transducer is an resistive tem- the excitation current. However, the 6.25 kΩ resistor must have perature device (RTD), a PT100. The arrangement is a 4-lead a low temperature coefficient to avoid errors in the reference RTD configuration. There are voltage drops across the lead voltage over temperature. 5VAVDDDVDDAD7715THERMOCOUPLEJUNCTIONRAIN(+)CHARGE BALANCING ADCRAIN(–)BUFFERPGAAUTO-ZEROEDDIGITALΣ-∆FILTERCCA = 1 TO 128MODULATORMCLK IN+5VCLOCKGENERATION+VINSERIAL INTERFACEMCLK OUTVREF192OUTREF IN(+)REGISTER BANKRESETREF IN(–)DRDYGNDAGND 15 0 DGNDDOUTDINCSSCLK 9- 51 08 Figure 15.
