Problem Statement
A linear wire-wound potentiometer has a total
resistance of 50,000 ohms The voltage output of the
potentiometer will be converted to a digital value by a
12 bit ADC. Determine minimum number
of turns required so that the resolution of the
potentiometer does not exceed the quantization error of
the ADC.
What percent loading error can be expected if the input
resistance of the ADC is 100 kW and the range of
measurement is from 20% to 80% of the potentiometer
value?

Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)-change in resistance of pure metals
relates to temperature. Key features: wide temperature range, high accuracy,
excellent repeatability, good linearity. Need constant current source and other
electronics to produce output signal
Thermistor – temperature-sensitive semiconductor. Resistance inversely
proportional to temperature. Increasing temperature causes decreasing
resistance. Key features: high sensitivity, small size, fast response., narrow
temperature range Not recommended in applications requiring high accuracy.
Thermocouple – junctions of two dissimilar metals produces small (mV) voltages
when placed at different temperatures. Magnitude of voltage depends on
temperature difference. Key features: small size , low cost, rugged, wide

Problem Statement
A linear wire-wound potentiometer has a total
resistance of 50,000 ohms The voltage output of the
potentiometer will be converted to a digital value by a
12 bit ADC. Determine minimum number
of turns required so that the resolution of the
potentiometer does not exceed the quantization error of
the ADC.

resistance of the ADC is 100 kW and the range of
measurement is from 20% to 80% of the potentiometer
value?
