This paper proposes a temperature measuring method of low cost and stable precision based on platinum resistance. RC discharge circuit is composed of platinum resistor and fixed capacitor,the discharge time of fixed capacitance in the circuit is used for calculating the platinum resistance temperature resistance. The experimental results show that this is a simple and low cost method .

The paper introduces a new low-cost temperature measurement solution. CTMU module is available in many Microchip microcontrollers.The method is to use the CTMU of microcontroller and a diode to replace the higher cost thermostat or temperature sensor.

Numerous applications require very precise time measurement. Usually, the measurement accuracy is increased by improve the MCU MIPS. It will take the high cost and current consumption, and the accuracy is limited in the MCU MIPS. Using CTMU channels work in conjunction with Analog to Digital converters, the high precise time measurement with low cost MCU can be achieved, and make the time measurement resolution to 1 nanosecond. CTMU module is available in many Microchip microcontrollers.
