9.2.3 Resistive Bridge Sensor Measurement With Temperature Compensation

Figure 9-8 and Figure 9-10 show two examples of how to implement a resistive bridge sensor measurement with temperature compensation using the ADS1x2S14. The bridge temperature is typically used in the host controller to compensate for the bridge temperature drift.

The circuit implementation in Figure 9-9 uses the analog supply to excite the bridge sensor. Use the bridge excitation voltage as the external reference voltage for the ADC to implement a ratiometric bridge measurement. Instead of the analog supply, one of the integrated excitation current sources can be used to excite the bridge as well. Equation 26 through Equation 28 show how to derive the relationship between ADC output codes and the applied bridge signal using a pressure sensor as an example. Equation 28 shows that the output codes are independent of the excitation voltage in this ratiometric circuit implementation.

Equation 26. VBridge = VAIN2 – VAIN3 = (PressureAPL / PressureMAX) × Sensitivity × VExcitation
Equation 27. Code / 2n = VBridge × Gain / VREF
Equation 28. Code / 2n = (PressureAPL / PressureMAX) × Sensitivity × Gain

Where:

  • VExcitation = VREF = AVDD
  • PressureAPL = the applied pressure
  • PressureMAX = the maximum capacity of the pressure sensor. Means the pressure where the bridge sensor outputs the full-scale output signal
  • Sensitivity = the sensitivity of the bridge sensor typically given in mV/V of bridge excitation
  • n follows the guidelines of Equation 17

(Using the Analog Supply as Bridge Excitation and a Thermistor for Bridge Temperature Measurement)

The example shows a thermistor to measure the bridge temperature. The reference voltage output is used in this case to implement a ratiometric thermistor measurement. The conversion result according to Equation 30 is only dependent on the bias resistor (RBIAS) and the PGA gain setting.

Equation 29. VThermistor = VAIN0 – VAIN1 = VREF × RThermistor / (RThermistor + RBIAS)
Equation 30. Code / 2n = (VThermistor × Gain) / VREF = (RThermistor × Gain) / (RThermistor + RBIAS)

Where n follows the guidelines of Equation 17.

Figure 9-10 shows an alternative circuit implementation where the reference output is used to excite the bridge and the measurement of the temperature-dependent bridge resistance (measurement between AIN0 and AIN3) is used to determine the bridge temperature. Similar to the thermistor measurement above, the bridge resistance measurement is ratiometric and only dependent on the bias resistor and the PGA gain setting as shown in Equation 31.

Equation 31. Code / 2n = (RBridge × Gain) / (RBridge + RBIAS)

(Using the Reference Output as Bridge Excitation and the Bridge Resistance as Temperature Measurement)

Use one of the GPIO outputs to control a switch placed between the bridge sensor and GND for applications where the bridge sensor needs to be powered down periodically to save power.
