PT Series
Combined
Pressure /Temperature Sensor
Texas Instruments introduces the
PT Series pressure/temperature
Sensor to provide system designers
with twice the output information in
a single package, from the same
source point. Originally developed
for demanding under-hood
automotive environments, the PT
Sensor is made to withstand the
rigors of today's applications.
Pressure: The pressure transducer
is a 0-5 Vdc high level output design
that requires no end-user amplifica-
tion. Similar to other TI pressure
transducers, the voltage output is
ratiometric to supply voltage. With a
data conversion circuit referenced to
supply voltage*, accuracy can be
maintained regardless of supply voltage
variation.
Temperature: The temperature
sensor is an NTC thermistor (resis-
tance decreases with increasing
temperature) with either 10KΩ or
100KΩ value @ 25oC. Unlike other
integrated packages, TI's PT Sensor
places the thermistor directly in the
measurement medium (fluid stream),
which provides faster reponse time
and greater accuracy over encased
or pipe-mounted thermistors.
Packaged with an AMP Micro-Quadlok
System™ connector, the sensor has a
steel or brass housing, and is available
in two pressure ranges: 0-150 or
0-500psi with a variety of pressure
fittings.
