 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.  (The term bandwidth used in this case is referring to a sinusoidally varying mechanical position and can be easily configured to meet wider bandwidth applications by configuring a few external passive components.)   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.  (The term bandwidth used in this case is referring to a sinusoidally varying mechanical position and can be easily configured to meet wider bandwidth applications by configuring a few external passive components.)
