Circuit Design for microvolt range signal
Circuit Design for microvolt range signal
(OP)
The problem is this : I am looking for low cost circuit design to detect microvolt signal in the range of 0 to 500 microvolt with aaccuracy of 2 microvolt from a set of thermocouples.
I have looked at two designs. First a circuit with an analog filter and 24-bit A/D with a Sigma-Delta filter ( and a low-cost microprocessor) and amplifier. This design is costly due to the high cost of this kind of A/D.
Second design uses a low-cost microcontroller with 10-bit A/D and amplifiers. The amplifiers give noise that is bigger than the signal. The microcontroller does not allow the use of analog filter

Look to Burr-Brown (now a div. of Texas Instruments), or AD (Analog Devices), or Linear Technologies for stock IA's. All three have web sites. You will want a slow one (under 3Mhz GBW product) that has bipolar inputs (not FET). In the device data sheets you will find recommended ckts for using as a thermocouple amp. Look into also providing a "cold junction" to compensate ambient.
