Abstract In recent years there has been an increasing selection of commercially available electronic components specified for very high temperature (200C+) operation, driven by the needs of harsh-environment applications such as oil and gas exploration/production, aerospace, heavy industrial, and automotive. However, there remains a significant technical challenge to integrate these components into reliable, high performance systems. We previously presented a complete reference design of a precision multichannel sensor data acquisition and control system rated to 200C, including characterized hardware, firmware, and software. The design is based around low power 16 bit SAR ADCs and an ARM® Cortex®-M0 processor and is optimized for high resolution and high throughput measurements while maintaining low power and a small footprint. In this paper we present the test results of this system over temperature. The reference platform is available off the shelf, including hardware design files, processor firmware source code, and PC software for data logging and display, providing engineers a rapid development tool for prototyping and a faster path to production for complex harsh-environment applications.

An increasing number of industries are calling for low power electronics that operate reliably at temperatures of 175°C and higher. Many of these applications require a precision data acquisition signal chain in order to digitize analog data so that it can be collected and processed. We have previously presented a new 600 kSPS SAR ADC that is rated at 210°C to meet these needs. However, the design of the supporting circuitry for a SAR ADC to achieve optimum performance is not trivial, especially over this wide temperature range. In this work we discuss the design of a complete data acquisition circuit building block that will take an analog sensor input, condition it, and digitize it to an SPI serial data stream. We will also discuss some of the practical aspects of fabricating the circuit to survive this harsh environment. This circuit reference design will be published and available off the shelf to designers of harsh environment systems.

Abstract In recent years there has been an increasing selection of commercially available electronic components specified for very high temperature (200°C+) operation, driven by the needs of harsh-environment applications such as oil and gas exploration/production, aerospace, heavy industrial, and automotive. However, there remains a significant technical challenge to integrate these components into reliable, high performance systems. In this paper we present a complete reference platform implementation of a precision multichannel sensor data acquisition and control system rated to 200°C. The design offers a complete sensors-to-bits solution using a low power 16-bit, 600kSPS SAR ADC and an ARM® Cortex®-M0 based microcontroller. The signal chain is optimized for precision performance and accurate measurements while maintaining low power and a small footprint. The reference platform is available off the shelf, including hardware design files, processor firmware source code, and PC software for data logging and display, offering design engineers a rapid development tool for prototyping and a faster path to production for even complex harsh-environment applications, reducing design risk and evaluation time.
