Its low noise greatly improves OP295GND– 244 the signal resolution, allowing the load cell to operate with a smaller output range, thus reducing its nonlinearity. Figure 41 4V5V350ΩR8R7 shows one half of the OPx13 family used to generate a very 35mV12kΩ20kΩFS8OUTPUT stable 10 V bridge excitation voltage while the second amplifier 5 +0V 3.5V1/27 provides a differential gain.

The 5 V bridge The true zero swing capability of the OPx13 family allows the excitation is derived from the extremely stable AD588 reference amplifier in Figure 42 to amplify the strain gage bridge device with 1.5 ppm/°C drift performance. accurately even with no signal input while being powered by a Linearization of the RTD is done by feeding a fraction of the single 5 V supply. A stable 4 V bridge voltage is made possible output voltage back to the RTD in the form of a current. With by the rail-to-rail OP295 amplifier, whose output can swing to just the right amount of positive feedback, the amplifier output within a millivolt of either rail. This high voltage swing greatly will be linearly proportional to the temperature of the RTD. increases the bridge output signal without a corresponding increase in bridge input. Rev.
