4.2.2 Signal Phase

During the signal phase the 4 charged values of voltage are

transfered to other parts of the circuit (refer to simplified Figure 4-4).

The following explanations assume more than one charge transfer has

taken place.
1. C

R

is connected across C

E

and after a sufficient number of 

zero and signal phases the voltage on C

E

approaches that 

stored on C

R

. That voltage is equal to IR

R

.

2. C

Z

is connected between L

2

and the input of A

1

in a way that 

opposes the voltage drop across R

T

and L

4

. Since the voltage 

charged on C

Z

is IR

Z

the voltage at the output of A

1

is

[A

1

(I(R

T

+ L

4

) - IR

Z

+ Vos)]

or

A

1

(I(R

T

- R

Z

+ L

4

) + IR

Z

+ Vos)

R

Z

is made to equal the value of R

T

at 0°C. This action

eliminates the offset of R

T

(100Ω at 0°C).

3. C

D

is connected between the output of A

1

and the top of C

D

in such a way that opposes the output of A

1

. The voltage

charge on C

D

is

A

1

(I(R

T

- R

Z

+ L

4

) + Vos) - A

1

(IL

4

+ Vos)

or

A

I(R

T

- R

Z

)

4. C

A

is connected between the output of the A

2

network and 

the top of C

B

in such a way that opposes the output of A

2

.

The voltage charged on C

B

is 

A

(I(R

Due to this two phase measurement Vos and lead resistance

effects are eliminated.

4.2

FOUR WIRE SIGNAL CONDITIONING

There are two phases necessary to condition the signal for

digitization. Each phase lasts for a period equal to one-half of the

back plane period of the A/D converter. These are called the zero

and signal phase.

4.2.1

Zero Phase

During the zero phase, FETs are switched to configure the circuit

shown in Figure 4-3. The fourth wire adds an additional attenuation

that slightly increases the offset voltage at the input to amplifier A

1

.

1. C

R

is connected across R

R

. The voltage charged on C

R

is 

equal to IR

R

.

2. C

Z

is connected across R

Z

. The voltage charge in C

Z

is equal to IR

Z

.

3. The input of A

1

is connected through L

3

. Since, ideally, zero

current flows into A

1

the voltage at the output of A

1

is equal

to [A

1

(IL

4

+ Vos)].

4. C

C

is connected between the output of A

1

and common. The 

voltage charged on C

C

is equal to the output voltage of A

1

or [A

1

(IL

4

+ Vos)].

5. C

A

is connected between the output of the A

2

network and 

common. The voltage charged on C

A

is equal to the output 

voltage of A

1

attentuated by A

2

or [A

A

2

(IL

4
