Measurement of PRT resistance is very similar to measurement of thermistor resistance, where a half-

bridge measurement is used. An excitation voltage is input across the bridge resistor and an output

voltage is measured across the PRT.

An excitation voltage of 2.1 V DC is recommended to minimize current drain, while still maintaining an

adequate voltage signal. However, other excitation voltages can be used. Decreasing the excitation

voltage will decrease current drain, but will also decrease output voltage. Increasing the excitation

voltage will increase output voltage, but will also increase current drain.

Conversion of PRT Resistance to Temperature:

The PRT is a resistive element, where resistance changes with temperature. PRT resistance (R

, in ) is

measured with a half-bridge measurement, requiring a known excitation voltage input (V

) and a

measurement of output voltage (V
