Pressure Sensor Signal Conditioning Circuit with Single Op-Amp

This is pressure sensor signal conditioning circuit. It is simple and inexpensive circuit because it has small geometry and simple pressure sensor. It just uses a single Operational Amplifier. This circuit obtain power from from 3-V battery. To work properly this circuit must work in  0 C to 50 C temperature range. Here is the schematic diagram : This simple […]

Error Compensation Circuit for Pressure Sensor

To obtain an accurate pressure value, we must remove the offset errors. There are  many basic circuit designs that is used to remove the offset errors. This  circuit uses three method to remove the offsets errors, they are symmetrical offset trim, asymmetrical offset trim and amplifier gain adjustment. Here is the circuit: The differential sensor output must be zero V […]

Programmable Pressure Transducer Circuit

Silicon pezoresitive-bridge pressure transducer (SPPT) is very popular in medical, industrial, environmental, and automotive pressure sensor application. The general architecture of SPPT uses a thin micromachined silicon diaphragm incorporates a implanted piezoresitive Wheatson-bridge strain-gauge. The transducer design allows only a small diaphragm deflection sin it has limited elasticity, and this produces only a very small output signal, only about 1% […]
