Precision thermocouple signal amplifier


Posted on Jul 12, 2012

This circuit greatly expands upon the capabilities of circuit 02. A thermocouple signal is quite small, and the long thermocouple leads often induce quite a bit of noise into the system. This new circuit is far more accurate, stable, and less immune to noise. It makes use of a Linear Technologies LT1025 chip to provide CJC (Cold Junction Compensation), an LTC1098 8-bit 2-channel Analogue to Digital Converter, and an LTC1050 chopper amp.

The feedback resistors are designed to deliver 5V (full scale signal) to the ADC with a 1000 degree C. Type K signal. The 1050 is a great amplifier, delivering "rail to rail" output which makes powering the circuit simple. This circuit is far superior to the basic op-amp circuit shown above, but is still complex. The actual EGT section of the ECU has been replaced with an Analog Devices AD595 IC.
