WTC3243 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
OPERATING WITH AD590 TYPE TEMPERATURE SENSORS
AD590 type temperature sensors have the best linearity, good sensitivity,
a temperature range of -20º to +105º C, but are larger in size. Operation
requires that V
DD
be +8 V or greater.
The following diagrams demonstrate how to configure the WTC3243 for
operation with an Analog Devices AD590 Temperature Sensor. An online
calculation utility to determine resistances is available at:

IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM THE WHY5640: The position of Pin 1 on the WHY5640 is reversed (or mirrored) relative
to the position of Pin 1 on the WTC3243.
