Abstract
A temperature measurement system is provided to measure temperatures using temperature sensors. The temperature measurement system may include a controller having a plurality of address lines, a sensor configured to provide a plurality of inputs, and a connector configured to accept the inputs from the sensor. The temperature measurement system may also include a first multiplexer coupled with at least one input from the sensor and including a plurality of selector lines, and a second multiplexer coupled with one or more other inputs from the sensor and including a plurality of selector lines. The selector lines of the second multiplexer may be respectively coupled to the address lines of the controller. The temperature measurement system may also include a selector logic device coupled between the selector lines of the first multiplexer and the address lines of the controller such that the at least one input coupled to the first multiplexer corresponds to a variable number of inputs from the one or more other inputs coupled to the second multiplexer.
