CS5516 ETC, CS5516 Datasheet - Page 10

• Manufacturer Part Number: CS5516
• Description: 16BIT/20-BIT BRIDGE TRANSDUCER A/D CONVERTER
• Manufacturer: ETC

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CS5516 and CS5520 are monolithic CMOS
A/D converters which include an instrumentation
amplifier input, an on-chip programmable gain
amplifier, and a DAC for offset trimming.
While the devices are optimized for ratiometric
measurement of Wheatstone bridge applications,
they can be used for general purpose low-level
signal measurement.
Each of the devices includes a two-channel dif-
ferential delta-sigma modulator (the signal
measurement input and the reference input are
digitized independently before a digital output
word is computed), a calibration microcontroller,
a two-channel digital filter, a programmable in-
strumentation amplifier block, a 4-bit DAC for

outputs 16-bit words; the CS5520 outputs 20-bit
words.
The CS5516/20 devices can measure either
unipolar or bipolar signals. Self-calibration is
utilized to maximize performance of the meas-
urement system.
