Ratiometric Resistance

Measurements

The true differential input and differential reference

make ratiometric reading possible. Typically in a ratio-

metric operation, an unknown resistance is measured,

with respect to a known standard resistance. No accu-

rately defined reference voltage is needed.

The unknown resistance is put in series with a known

standard and a current passed through the pair. The

voltage developed across the unknown is applied to the

input and the voltage across the known resistor is

applied to the reference input. If the unknown equals

the standard, the display will read 1000.

The displayed reading can be determined from the

following expression:

The display will over range for:

RUNKNOWN ≥ 2xRSTANDARD
