  • Patent number: 5096303
    Abstract: Electronic circuit arrangement in a temperature measurement circuit based on a platinum resistor (PT) as a temperature sensing resistor, whereby in addition to the platinum resistor there is provided a reference resistor (R1). The measurement circuit (S) is adapted to apply equally large DC currents (I5, I6) to both resistors having a common return lead (3) from these, and to sense the resulting voltage difference (U) across the resistors. By means of at least one operational amplifier (G) the voltage difference is adapted to cause an output DC current from the measurement circuit (S) being proportional to the voltage diffeerence and thereby constituting a measure of the temperature of the platinum resistor (PT). The measurement circuit (S) comprises means (L) for compensating for non-linearity of the temperature-resistance characteristic of the platinum resistor.
