So in searching around....LTC, TI, ADI and a various set of obsure vendors... Seems that the AS7793 is the chip of choice...built in current source, seems to be the perfect interface to a 3 wire RTD. Anyone used these before? Seems pretty straight forward to use. Now if the RTD cable has a ground shield, not terminated at the transmitter end, assume tying to the analog ground plane is what we want. I am assuming that there is a ground shield...havent seen it yet. --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
