Temperature sensor SMT172
NEW
About shielding , isolation, ground and earth. Precautions to prevent groundloops,etc.
READ MORE
Controlling temperature during the charging process of batteries is an important factor for both safety
and battery life span in the field of e-mobility
READ MORE
In a limited temperature range the SMT172 scores better than a Pt100AA/1000AA at a much lower cost.
A comparison is made between the Pt100AA and our SMT172 on accuracy, calibration, hardware, etc.

Accurate Pt digitizer.
To digitize PT100/1000 sensors Smartec has a single chip solution. This solution covers in one time the 2,3 and 4-wire interfacing. Using simple hard- and software it is easy to digitize for over the whole Pt temperature range and with a high accuracy. In this application most of the hardware is replaced by software and following some simple rules it will be easy to measuring and calculating the Pt resistance accurately.
