\section{Overview}
This chapter intends to show a practical example of a functional group of base components
used to create a derived component. An industry standard temperature measurement circuit,
the PT100 is described and then analysed using the FMMD methodology.
A derived component, suitable for using as a design block, representing this circuit is then presented.
The PT100, or platinum wire \ohms{100} sensor is
a widely used industrial temperature sensor that is
slowly replacing the use of thermocouples in many
