A 14 bit A to D converter is to be employed with an Iron-constantan thermocouple. What temperature resolution can be expected with a full scale voltage of 100 mV? Thermocouple shows 0.5 mV at 50oC and 3.052 mV at 100oC.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\gamma=0.122^oC[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Word length[tex]n=14bit[/tex]

Full scale voltage of 100 mV

Thermo-couple shows:

[tex]0.5 mV\ at\ 50^oC[/tex]

[tex]3.052\ mV\ at\ 100^oC.[/tex]

Generally the equation for Average output voltage V_[avg} is mathematically given by

[tex]V_[avg}=\frac{3.052-0.5}{100-50}[/tex]

[tex]V_[avg}=0.05mv[/tex]

Since

[tex]Word lenght =14[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]Voltage\ steps=\frac{100}{2^{14}}[/tex]

[tex]Voltage\ steps=6.10*10^3mv steps[/tex]

Generally the equation for The required temperature resolution\gamma is mathematically given by

[tex]\gamma=\frac{100}{2^{14}*V_[avg}}[/tex]

[tex]\gamma=\frac{100}{2^{14}*0.05}[/tex]

[tex]\gamma=0.122^oC[/tex]
