RTKA-BDGSTKEV1Z
Description
The “DAQ on a Stick, Strain Gauge with Programmable INAMP” is one of a series of reference designs highlighting Renesas' precision products with different microcontrollers. This reference design is a self contained demo showing a complete signal chain solution using Renesas parts and a Renesas microcontroller. The complete reference design is conveniently housed in a USB stick form factor. This compact design draws power through the USB port and uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to display the real time voltage readings from a bridge strain gauge or a user supplied sensor. Figure 1 shows the Data Acquisition (DAQ) on a Stick connected to an external foil strain gauge.
The image below shows a simplified schematic of the Strain Gauge design. The design uses Renesas' ISL28634 Programmable Instrumentation Amplifier (INAMP), ISL23328 Digital Potentiometer, ISL28233 Operational Amplifiers, ISL43840 dual 4-channel Mux configured as a Differential Mux, ISL21010 4.096 Voltage Reference, the ISL26104 24-bit Delta Sigma Converter and Renesas R5F10JBC (RL78/G1C) Microcontroller.
