Analog Devices: Remote Strain Gauge Techniques

Watch this video to see how Analog Devices’ precision instrumentation amplifier (IA) and stable voltage references allow the placement of the sensor at a large distance from the amplifier. This enables the use of single low cost Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) as the interconnect with off-the-shelf sensors.

Analog Devices instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) are precision gain blocks that have a differential input and an output that may be differential or single-ended with respect to a reference terminal. These devices amplify the difference between two input signal voltages while rejecting any signals that are common to both inputs.

The in-amps are widely used where dc precision and gain accuracy must be maintained within a noisy environment, and where large common-mode signals (usually at the ac power line frequency) are present, making them ideal for remote strain gauges.
