Both ADC and sensor are located on a PCB just mm from each other. /E 19835 Likewise, an a bridge is balanced if its all four arms are equal and if not it is called unbalanced bridge. At 10 V power supply, both V1 and V2 are 5 V, and U1 output is 5 V. Since the ADC measures the difference between VIN(+) and VIN(-), it will show a 12-bit code zero, or very close to zero. For a linear amplifier (and a differential amplifier) the open-loop gain is A and the output is given as ... and an excellent application is to amplify the output from a Wheatstone bridge. This design uses a 2 op amp instrumentation circuit to amplify a differential signal created by the change in resistance of a strain gauge. The amplifier is usually a differential amplifier with four resistors or a three-op-amp instrumentation amplifier integrated in a single package. Look at the code in the ADS1115 Library. If we ignore the Wheatstone Bridge to the left, focusing on the differential amplifier, i know that the amplification is given by: (V2-V1)*(R6/R5) Given that R6=R8 and R5=R7.
