ADC enables temperature-compensated weigh-scale measurements
5-Jul-01 EDN-Design Ideas You can provide temperature compensation in weigh-scale applications by simultaneously measuring both the temperature of the bridge and the primary output of the bridge transducer. Traditionally, an integrated multiplexer connects multiple input variables to a single sigma-delta ADC. Each time the multiplexer switches the input, the ADC must flush the digital filter of all data pertaining to t__ Circuit Design by Albert O'Grady, Analog Devices, Limerick, Ireland

ADC Helps Temperature-Compensate Transducer
01/20/94 EDN-Design Ideas You can use many tricks to make temperature-compensated resistive full-bridge transducers, such as piezoresistive pressure or strain-guage sensors. Most of these tricks use some additional thermosensitive components that produce a compensating voltage or current. The disadvantages of such solutions are obvious low accuracy__ Circuit Design by Alexander L Belousov, Science Instruments Co, Baltimore, MD
ADC Input Driver DIFFERENTIAL to DIFFERENTIAL
The last of our basic ADC input drivers is the differential input to differential output driver. Suppose another part of your circuit already converted a singled-ended sensor signal to ± 2Vdifferential. However, this differential signal sakes its way past noisy AC sources and switching power supplies. __

ADC Input Driver DIFFERENTIAL to SINGLE-ENDED
Your data acquisition board has an ADC that accepts a single-ended input of 05 V. However, your signal source happens to be differential. This signal may be generated from a sensor bridge where one leg swings positive while the other swings negative in response to pressure, for example. __
ADC Input Driver FULLY DIFFERENTIAL Amplifier
In this series of ADC input drivers, we've created differential outputs using the obvioustwo op amps, one for the positive and one for the negative output. Also, you need 8 resistors to accomplish the feat. But, wouldn't it be grand if a single device produced with both positive and negative? __
ADC Input Driver SINGLE-ENDED to DIFFERENTIAL
The continuing story of input drivers brings us to the case where your signal source is single-ended, but your ADC accepts a differential input. For example, a position sensor that swings +/-10 V gets muxed to an ADC that expects a +/-4V differential input centered around 2 V. What's the solution? __
ADC Input Driver SINGLE-ENDED to SINGLE-ENDED
Suppose your sensor produces a bipolar voltage swing of ±10V. The only problem, your ADC accepts a single-ended input of 05 V. What you need is a circuit that will reduce your voltage swing __
ADC interface conditions high-level signals
30-Oct-03 EDN-Design Ideas Designers who build equipment for the industrial market share a wIdeaspread problem. At one extreme, they must build equipment that supports ±10V bipolar voltages, often riding on a high common-mode level, a requirement enforced by 30 years of legacy industrial equipment. At the other extreme, the analog signal needs conditioning to match the full-scale range of a low-voltage, single-supply__ Circuit Design by Moshe Gerstenhaber and Stephen Lee, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA

ADC Multiplexer Expander Works Transparently
06/20/96 EDN-Design Ideas When you need to multiplex a large number of analog signals into an ADC—as in medical, instrumentation, and or applications—you may find it difficult to find an appropriate ADC that has enough channels to fit your system's needs. You can add external multiplexers, but se normally require additional control lines from CPU. Also, time required__ Circuit Design by Mark Seiders, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA

ADC shuts down analogry
03/03/94 EDN-Design Ideas Shutting down circuitry not in use is a common method of saving power in portable and battery-powered equipment. Although many ADCs have the ability to power down, most other analog components, such as op amps and sensors, do not. The conventional approach to shutting down analog signal-conditioning circuits is to power them using a voltage regulator that has shutdown capability, and to control this regulator using a dedicated signal line from the microcontroller. Often, how ever, this additional I/O line isn't available.__ Circuit Design by Emmy Denton, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA
