California University of Pennsylvania Department of Applied Engineering & Technology Electrical / Computer Engineering Technology EET 215: Introduction to Instrumentations Lab No.7 Temperature Measurement Using NTC Thermistor Names: 1. 2. 3. Signature: Date Instrumentation Amplifier Objective of the Experiment The main objective of this experiment is to understand NTC thermistors and to use them to calculate and display temperatures. Learning Outcomes Students will demonstrate: - The ability to use Thermistor equations the ability to derive linear equation for a Wheatstone bridge interpret data and design a digital thermometer using GUI Introduction Thermistors (thermally sensitive resistors) electrical resistors whose resistance changes with temperature. Thermistors are manufactured from metal oxide semiconductor material which is encapsulated in a glass or epoxy bead. Thermistors have a very high sensitivity, making them extremely responsive to changes in temperature. For example, a 2252 Ξ© thermistor has a sensitivity of -100 Ξ©/°C at room temperature. Thermistors also have a low thermal mass that results in fast response times, but are limited by a small temperature range. Thermistors have either a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) or a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). The first has a resistance which decreases with increasing temperature and the latter exhibits increased resistance with increasing temperature. Figure 1 shows a typical thermistor temperature curve compared to a typical 100 Ξ© RTD temperature curve: Figure 1: NTC Thermistor characteristics Reference: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3643#toc1 The resistance of a thermistor as a function of temperature is approximated by: π (π) = π 0 π 1 1 π½( β ) π π0 Where: R(T) is the resistance at a given temperature T. Ξ is the material constant T is the current temperature in oK T0 is the room temperature (typically 25oC = 298 oK Components Needed: - LM741C op-amp (3) - Six equal resistors (may be 10Kβ¦ or close to this value β like 11Kβ¦ if 10Kβ¦s are gone) - refer to them as R in the circuit - Potentiometer to be used as a variable resistor ( 1Kβ¦ or 5Kβ¦) potentiometer (refer to it as RG in the circuit) - Any two equal resistors (choose 4.7Kβ¦ if possible) (refer to them as R1, R2 in the circuit) Experiment For all circuits, the +/- Vsupply = +/- 15Volts. Component Values are: R= R1 = R2 = ? ? A- Construct the IA circuit With the power to the board initially turned OFF (top right corner), a- Careful, some op-amps in the drawing are flipped vertically. b- Ensure all op-amps are connected to the +/-Vsupply (but power is still turned off) c- Take great care in making correct connections. This will make this experiment and the next go smoothly. d- SET RG to 500β¦ (May used a fixed resistor if available) e- Again, Connect circuit very nicely. This makes it easier to troubleshoot and to understand. f- NO input signal for Vin yet. OP-AMP1 V1 R Vy 10kΞ© R LM741CN 10kΞ© R RG 50% R 10kΞ© Vout 10kΞ© 10kΞ© LM741CN R R 10kΞ© OP-AMP3 V2 Vx LM741CN OP-AMP2 Fig.1. IA circuit set-up B- Determining the Common Mode Gain, AC a- Turn the power to the board ON and apply Vin to both inputs as shown Vin Connect to V1 Connect to V2 Vin is a sine wave at 0.2Vpk and 1KHz. b- USE the DMM tool in ELVISβs instrument launcher to perform the following measurements: Notice: The AC voltage measurements on the DMM correspond to the RMS measurements 1- Vin(RMS) = Vin(CM) 2- Vout(RMS) = Vo(CM) Volts (should be about 0.1414V) Volts (Should be VERY small, NOT zero) If the value for Vout value is large, then here are possible errors: c- i- check all op-amps output, make sure all are low. If one is near saturation, then there is a problem with connections or the applied power supply to that opamp. ii- double check all connections β (this is part of troubleshooting skills) Calculate the common mode gain, AC AC = ππ(πΆπ) πππ(πΆπ) = (should be very small β near zero, but NOT zero) C- Determining the Differential Mode Gain, Ad a- Turn the board power off and remove the common mode input connections of step B above b- Apply the differential input as shown below and turn the boardβs power ON. Vin R1 Connect to V1 4.7kΞ© Connect to V2 R2 4.7kΞ© Here, V2 sees the input signal and V1 sees half of it. c- Set Vin to the same value as previously. Vin = 0.2Vpk sine wave at 1KHz. d- Verify correct operation by monitoring Vout on the scope. Vout should be near 4.1(pk) sine wave. If far off, then troubleshoot the circuit and fix the problem (note this part assumes using the suggested resistor values.) e- If step (d) is o.k, then record your measurements using the DMM tool in ELVISβs instrument launcher . f- 1- V1(RMS) = Volts (should be near 0.0707V) ! 2- V2(RMS) = Volts (should be near 0.1414V) ! 3- Vout(RMS) = Volts (should be near 2.89V) ! Calculate the differential gain, Ad π π΄π = π ππ’π‘ = βπ 2 g- (should be about 41) 1 Calculate the theoretical value of the differential gain: 2π π΄π = 1 + π = πΊ h- Do the results in steps f and g almost agree? -------------YES, --------------NO iIf the percentage difference is more that 10%, then the work was not successful. All previous steps will have to be checked. Instructor Approval: ------------------------ D- Determining the Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) π΄ CMRR = π΄π π = CMRRdB = 20log10(CMRR) ? (should be large , possible above 1000) = dB ( should be high, possible more than 60dB) E- Typical CMRR values of standard components From the web, obtain and record CMRR (dB) for each of the following components: http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM741.pdf http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD620.pdf Component CMRR(dB) (minimum) CMRR(dB) (typical) LM741 AD 620 (with gain, G =1000) Instructor Approval of Completion: -------------------------------DO NOT disassemble the circuit, it will be used in the next experiment.
