FIGURE 51. THERMOCOUPLE AMPLIFIER
Thermocouples are the most popular temperature-sensing
device because of their low cost, interchangeability, and
ability to measure a wide range of temperatures. The
EL8176 is used to convert the differential thermocouple
voltage into single-ended signal with 10X gain. The
EL8176's rail-to-rail input characteristic allows the
thermocouple to be biased at ground and the converter to
run from a single 5V supply.
