#93607 - TI (Burr-Brown) App Note SBAA050

i have been looking on the internet for a current source but i am having dificulty finding one with least a 1% tolerance


Take a look at TI (Burr-Brown) App Note SBAA050 "COMPLETE TEMPERATURE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FROM A SINGLE +5V SUPPLY"
Abstract: http://focus.ti.com/docs/apps...me=sbaa050
Direct Download: http://www-s.ti.com/sc/psheets/sbaa050/sbaa050.pdf

This uses the ADC's reference voltage output to generate the drive current

SBAA050 said:
The 2.5V reference output of the ADS574
is used to derive this current source, so that the entire system
will be ratiometric. As the reference in the ADS574 changes
over temperature or time, it will affect both the gain of the
A/D and the current source.


It also uses the RTD in 3-wire mode, to compensate for the effects of lead resistance - as Steve mentioned.


(Note the slight mistake in Fig 2: there's a spurious line going straigh from the "top" RTD terminal to the A3 amplifier).
