MAXREFDES82 Smart Force Sensor Reference Design

Maxim MAXREFDES82 Smart Force Sensor Reference Design features a next generation industrial, smart force sensor. Mounted on a quadrant of load cells channelled into a multi-channel, 24-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), MAXREFDES82 senses the weight and centre 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 centre 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 ruggedised touch interface with force sensing. The system consumes less than 50mA during normal operation and features a USB interface for quick evaluation and integration.
