- | [[http:// | + | [[adi>CN0216|CN-0216]] is a precision weigh scale signal conditioning system. It uses the [[adi>AD7791|AD7791]], |
Ultralow noise, low offset voltage, and low drift amplifiers are used at the front end for amplification of the low-level signal from the load cell. The circuit yields 15.3 bit noise-free code resolution for a load cell with a full-scale output of 10 mV. | Ultralow noise, low offset voltage, and low drift amplifiers are used at the front end for amplification of the low-level signal from the load cell.
