The components and functions of the Ariane telemetry conditioning units (TCU) are discussed. The TCU functions comprise transducing into voltage levels of the temperature, pressure, etc, transducer parameters; supplying current or voltage to sensors; and signal amplification. The dc/dc converter, Wheatstone and Kelvin bridges, power supply, constant current generator, amplifier, energy measurement, and packaging are described.
