This KWIK (Know-how With Integrated Knowledge) Circuit application note offers a step by step guide to address a specific design challenge. For a given set of application circuit requirements, it illustrates how these are addressed using generic formulae and makes them easily scalable to other similar application specifications. This sensor model enables SPICE simulation of the electrical and physical properties of a Type J Thermocouple Sensor. The SPICE model uses parameters which characterize the physical behavior of a Type J Thermocouple, which translates temperature into electrical voltage. It also provides a typical signal conditioning circuit, with cold junction simulation, that can be used to demonstrate the behavior of the Type J Thermocouple model. |
