An ADC is often used to measure other quantities indirectly. This
binding describe one case, the measurement of a temperature through the
voltage across an RTD resistor such as a PT1000.

+description: |
+ RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) are a kind of temperature sensors
+ used to get a linear voltage to temperature reading within a give range
+ (usually 0 to 100 degrees Celsius).
+
+ When an io-channel measures the output voltage across an RTD such as a
+ PT1000, the interesting measurement is almost always the corresponding
+ temperature, not the voltage output. This binding describes such a circuit.
+
+ The general transfer function here is (using SI units)
+
+ V = R(T) * iexc
+ R(T) = r0 * (1 + alpha * T)
+ T = 1 / (alpha * r0 * iexc) * (V - r0 * iexc)
+
+ The following circuit matches what's in the examples section.

+ alpha can also be expressed in micro-ohms per ohm Celsius. It's a linear
+ approximation of the resistance versus temperature relationship
+ between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius.
+
+ alpha = (R_100 - R_0) / (100 * R_0)
+
+ Where, R_100 is the resistance of the sensor at 100 degrees Celsius, and
+ R_0 (or r-naught-ohms) is the resistance of the sensor at 0 degrees
+ Celsius.

+ Pure platinum has an alpha of 3925. Industry standards such as IEC60751
