#95293 - This is wrong
Responding to: ???'s previous message
...but if i used a wheatstone bridge and then measured the voltage on the output. a adc wiyh lower resolution would be ok. becasue with the wheatstone bridge output voltage is only needed to be to 1 decimal place but can measure resistance to quite few decimal places.

Sorry, but this is rather wrong! PT100 applications, which need very high precision do use 4-wire-technique, in order to cancel the voltage drop across the PT100's cable. A Wheatstone bridge does not support this 4-wire-technique. And as you told us that you want to measure temperatures up to +400°C, then you would need a cable, wouldn't you?

And, why should the voltage drop in a Wheatstone bridge need to be less precise to achieve same accurate results??????

Again, what was wrong with the link Andy gave you??
