The twisted pair transmission line serves the When scaling per K, resistors R1–R3 and the AD589 voltage dual purpose of supplying power to the device and also carrying reference are not used. The AD592 produces a 1 µA/K current frequency data in the form of current modulation. output which drives Pin 3 of the AD654. With the timing The positive supply line is fed to the remote V/F through a capacitor of 0.01 µF this produces an output frequency scaled to 140 Ω resistor. This resistor is selected such that the quiescent 10 Hz/K. When scaling per °C and °F, the AD589 and resistors current of the AD654 will cause less than one VBE to be dropped. R1–R3 offset the drive current at Pin 3 by 273.2 µA for scaling As the V/F oscillates, additional switched current is drawn through per °C and 255.42 µA for scaling per °F.
