PT1000 drifts more than 100°C

I'm using a PT1000 and MAX31865 to measure the temperature inside a machine. Electronics (MAX31865 and MCU) are inside an isolated box. The PT1000 is outside and connected in two wire configuration (...

How "Zero" is this supposedly Zero-TCR resistor? And how much better is it than this other one?

I found a resistor at Digikey, and the TCR was quoted as being 0.0ppm/°C, and I had to check the datasheet just to refute my suspicion that it was a data entry error, and it looks real, but just how ...

Low frequency asymmetrical led blinking circuit, lacking thermal stability

I'm trying to use a NE555D to achieve a 500ms on, 1500ms off, duty cycle. The exact timing is not that important(+-20%). But my problem is that when the temperature changes it greatly effects the ...

Voltage reference drift in ppm/°C to V/°C

How does one convert drift in ppm/°C to V/°C? Assume a 5 V voltage reference has an output voltage drift of 12 ppm/°C. What is the output voltage drift in volts for a target temperature of 85°C?

IGBT Temperature Drift: How to Achive Stability?

I remember the BJT transistor circuits are designed to compensate for the fact that the parameters of the transistor change with the temperature. I could not find similar ready-to-use solutions for ...

Max31855k - fluctuation and drift

I'm using a b 31855k breakout board (a chinese one at that) with the olimex A20 and a K-type thermocouple (which works OK on another device with the 31855k). The problem is, that the thermocouple temp ...
