Dual Slope Direct Digital Converter for Bridge Connected Resistive Sensors
Open accessAbstract
A dual slope direct digital converter (DSDDC) suitable for resistive sensor elements already connected in a bridge form is presented. A conventional dual slope analog to digital converter (DS-ADC) is altered with an intentionally introduced instrumentation amplifier (INA) to realize the proposed DDC. The DSDDC accepts bridge connected resistive sensor elements as input and provides a digital output that is proportional to the quantity being sensed by the sensor elements. The results obtained from simulation of the proposed DSDDC indicate a worst case error in the output to be < ±0.03 %. Experimental results from a prototype unit, presented herein, demonstrate the practicality the scheme. Worst case error of the prototype unit was found to be < ±0.07 % with test conducted using standard decade resistance boxes emulating the sensor elements. The worst case error in the prototype was < ±0.05 % when tested with a load-cell made of four strain gauges.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
