  19. ADC High Level Concept Analog Domain ADC Digital Domain Input Voltage Compare Output Count Software Vin = count*(5/1023) Vin = 2.498V

  20. How are we going to read the sensors? • To read voltages, use an analog to digital converter! • Converts voltage into a numerical ‘count’ • Arduino ADC • 10 bits of counting (a.k.a. 10 bit resolution/quantization) • How many levels? 2^10 = 1024 • Highest count? 1023, because 0 takes up one of them! • Single-Ended (input is always referenced to Arduino GND) • By default: • VREF+ = 5V, VREF- = 0V (single ended) • VREF- is the voltage at the 0 count • VREF+ is the voltage at the full-scale 1023 count • All counts 0 and 1023 are essentially equal increments • 1023 counts amongst 5V is 5/1023 ~= 0.00488V/count

  31. Backup Slides

  32. Resistance of Thermistors & RTD’s Ohm’s Law! V=IR -> R=V/I (Resistance = Voltage / Current) Provide V or I excitation to find resistance Measuring Resistive Sensors ? ?

  33. Method 1: Excite with current, measure voltage Difficulty: Precision low-current source required Limited IC’s available (100uA, 200uA are common) Not simple to build precision low-current sources Question: Why not a high current source? Measuring Resistive Sensors ?

  34. Method 2: Excite with voltage, measure current Difficulty: Precision measurements of current required Precision Current Sense Resistor (Rs) Required Low Temperature Coefficient Ideal Smaller current sense resistors are better for linearity Measuring Resistive Sensors ? ? ?

  35. Method 3: Excite with significant voltage divider Difficulty: Measurements of R are very non-linear Precision Voltage Divider Resistor Required Allows biasing of nominal temperature voltage (e.g. 2.5V @ 25C) Measuring Resistive Sensors ? ? ?

  36. All excitations induce some self-heating Trade between error and magnitude of signal Low enough excitations induce no noticeable error Excitation can be pulsed on/off to minimize self-heating Leads to transient increase in temp, so keep pulses short Much less predictable offsets than constant excitation Current running through remote measurement leads can drop voltage, resulting in measurement errors Look for 3 wire and 4 wire configurations for more accuracy Look-up tables can be used to speed up calculations Linear approximations between points on an exponential curve Trade between accuracy and computation time Measuring Resistive Sensors
