- | [[http:// | + | [[adi>CN0301|CN-0301]] is a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) signal conditioning circuit. |
This circuit uses a single chip solution that drives the excitation signal of the primary side of the LVDT and converts the secondary side. The complete system uses a 12-bit ADC resulting in a dynamic range of 82dB at a standard LVDT bandwidth of 250Hz. | This circuit uses a single chip solution that drives the excitation signal of the primary side of the LVDT and converts the secondary side.
