Question

b) A linear temperature sensor produces an output voltage of 0-0.5 V when the temperature varies in the range 0-100°C. Calculate its sensitivity. c) Design a suitable amplifier circuit, based on an idealised operational amplifier which will produce an output voltage in the range 0-5 V for the sensor from Part b). Your answer should include identification of the amplifier type chosen, circuit diagram, component selection and calculations.

Step 1

Sensitivity is defined as the change in output (voltage in this case) per unit change in input (temperature in this case). Given that the output voltage changes from 0 to 0.5 V over a temperature range of 0 to 100°C, the sensitivity (S) can be calculated as Show more…
