Precision 28000 Solutions for Bridge and other Transducers Requiring Constant Voltage Excitation
Where applications call for high performance, high channel-density bridge conditioning, the 28108 and 28118 octal filter/amplifiers with constant voltage excitation deliver low-noise and DC stability for either AC or DC bridge-based sensor or low-level voltage measurements. Stable and accurate balanced constant voltage excitation with remote sense is individually regulated and programmable per channel. Low-noise and low-drift amplification is distributed before and after the low-pass filter, providing protection against out-of-band noise. FLAT/PULSE low-pass filter technology with outstanding channel-to-channel matching for correlation measurements. Fully programmable filter cutoff frequencies with filter bypass for wideband measurements.
The 28108 provides low noise, high CMRR performance with gain settings from x1/16 to x8192 and 255 unique cutoff frequencies. The lower cost 28118 has gain settings from x1/16 to x1024 with five programmable cutoff frequencies.
The 28108 and the 28118 are members of the Precision 28000 family of signal conditioners.
