<p>The invention relates to a circuit and a method adapted for measuring and digitizing the value of a resistance. The circuit includes and A/D converter operating in accordance with a charge balancing principle, and a resistance network connected to the A/D converter so that the resistance is both a component of the A/D converter and of the resistance network. The A/D converter and the resistance network are interconnected in such a manner so as to permit only a purely resistive measurement. A processor is connected to the A/D converter for obtaining a composite measured resistance value from a plurality of individual measured resistance values. The method according to the invention permits accurate (or precise) resistance measurements having a high degree of resolution of an order of magnitude of 105 points. The method is applicable in particular for temperature measurements, for examples in calorimeters or in precision scales, but also in other resistance measurements.</p> |
