Overview
Description
In scales, the used sensor elements are non-linear, therefore, linearization needs to be done. In this design, the workload is done in a sensor signal conditioner to allow close to 100% use of the MCU for customer applications.
System Benefits:
- No load for the MCU, as all the pre-processing is done by the signal conditioner
- Tiny software footprint on the MCU side for precise scale functionality
- Offloading the MCU offers full MCU capability for user applications (e.g. human machine interface (HMI), Tare function, etc.)
- The IO-Link PHY powers the entire application
- Easy adoption of a seven-segment LED via the GreenPAK™ family of cost-effective NVM programmable devices
- Reduced BOM, smaller PCB
