thermocouple applications. It has low supply current to minimize warmup drift, very low offset voltage (<35V), high gain, and extremely low input bias currents (<600pA) to allow high impedance input filters to be used without degrading offset voltage or drift. Matching of the kits is accomplished by separating the compensators and amplifiers according to the polarity of their initial (room temperature) errors. This eliminates the need to sum the errors of the two components to find the worst-case error. The LTK001 has direct thermocouple outputs of 60.9V/C (E), 51.7V/C (J), 40.6V/C (K, T), and 5.95V/C (R, S). It also has a 10mV/C output which can be scaled to match any arbitrary thermocouple. For multiple thermocouple applications using one compensator, amplifiers may be ordered separately (LTKA0x), still matched to the compensator.

Thermocouple Cold Junction Compensation

DESCRIPTIO

The LTK001 is a thermocouple amplifier supplied with a matched cold junction compensator. By separating the amplifier and compensator functions, the problem of compensator temperature rise is virtually eliminated. The compensator is a selected version of the LT1025 cold junction compensator. The amplifier, which is also available separately as LTKA0x has been specially selected for

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of a device may be impaired. Note 2: The inputs of the LTKA0x amplifier are clamped with diodes, so a differential voltage rating does not apply. Note 3: Total temperature error is the overall error at 25C taking into account the offset of the amplifier, the offset at the compensator 10mV/C output, and the error in the compensator divider network. Warmup drift is not included. Note 4: Slope error is the increase in total temperature error as ambient temperature is increased. It is guaranteed by design and by other tests, but is not tested directly. Note 5: This is a worst-case limit assuming that any or all supply voltages change. Note 6: Guaranteed, but not tested. Note 7: By referring common mode range to the supplies, the range referred to ground can be quickly calculated for any given supply voltage. With a single 5V supply, for instance, which has a worst-case low value of 4.7V, the upper common mode limit is 4.7V 1V = 3.7V. The lower common mode limit is 0V + 0.75V = 0.75V. With 15V supplies, the limits would be 14V and 14.25V, respectively. Common mode range has a temperature sensitivity of 2mV/C. Note 8: Absolute output voltage swing is calculated by subtracting the given limits from actual supply voltage. These limits indicate the point where offset voltage has changed suddenly by 5V.

Note 9: Temperature error is defined as the deviation from the following formula: VOUT = (T) + (T 25C)2 = Typical thermocouple Seebeck coefficient as follows, E = 60.9V/C, J = 51.7V/C, K, T = 40.6V/C, R, S = 5.95V/C. = 10mV/C at the 10mV output. = Nonlinearity coefficient built into the LT1025 to help compensate for the nonlinearities of thermocouples. = 5.5 x 10 4, generating 0.34C bow for 25C temperature change, and 1.36C bow for 50C change. Note 10: Temperature error at the individual outputs is the sum of the 10mV/C output error plus the resistor divider error. Note 11: Line and load regulation do not take into account the effects of self-heating. Output changes due to self-heating can be calculated as follows: VOUT (Line) = VIN(Iq + Iload)(150C/W) VOUT (Load) = (Iload)(VIN)(150C/W) = LT1025 supply current Load regulation is 30A IO 1mA for TA 0C. Note 12: Larger errors with type R and S thermocouples are due mostly to 35V offset of the amplifier. This error can be reduced to 5V max with the LTC1050 or LTC1052 operational amplifiers.
