Compensated gain stage A1a gives an output of just over 1 mV/°C, with an offset. A1b generates a voltage corresponding to that offset at 0 °C. Tracking of the two op-amp halves should minimize errors

- Figure 1. A simple circuit feeds the RTD, amplifies the resulting voltage, and uses some positive feedback to compensate for the sensor's non-linear response to temperature
- Figure 2. With compensation, the circuit's output can be very close to ideal. (Real-world components may modify this somewhat.)
- Figure 3. Compensated gain stage A1a gives an output of just over 1 mV/°C, with an offset. A1b generates a voltage corresponding to that offset at 0 °C. Tracking of the two op-amp halves should minimize errors
