WHEATSTONE BRIDGE TYPE

SENSORS WITH SIGNAL

CONDITIONING

Wheatstone bridge is one of the most common

configurations in the sensor applications. Strain

gauges and pressure sensors are the common

examples. When the sensor output signal is small and

the common mode noise level is large, it needs a signal

conditioning circuit between the sensor and the

MCP3425. Figure 6-8 and Figure 6-9 show examples

of using the MCP6V01 (high precision auto-zeroed Op

Amp) for the sensor signal conditioning. Figure 6-8

shows the interface circuit with a minimum of

components between the sensor and the MCP3425,

but it is not symmetric, and therefore, the ADC input

becomes a single ended. On the other hand, the

Figure 6-9 has a symmetric and differential output, but

requires more components.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

Figure 6-10

shows

example

temperature

measurement using a thermistor. This example can

achieve a linear response over a 50

°C temperature

range. This can be implemented using a standard

resistor with 1% tolerance in series with the thermistor.

The value of the resistor is selected to be equal to the

thermistor value at the mid-point of the desired

temperature range.
