Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAXREFDES82 Smart Force Sensor Reference Design

Analog Devices MAXREFDES82 Smart Force Sensor Reference Design features a next-generation industrial, smart force sensor. Mounted on a quadrant of load cells channeled into a multi-channel, 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), MAXREFDES82 senses the weight and center of mass of objects placed on the platform. The scale provides full-scale responses up to 780g. The user interface provides an active display of the center of mass on the platform, as well as the total measured weight. In addition to serving as a smart force sensor, the design works very well as a ruggedized touch interface with force sensing. The Analog Devices MAXREFDES82 Smart Force Sensor Reference Design system consumes less than 50mA during normal operation and features a USB interface for quick evaluation and integration.
