Mikroe MIKROE-3168 Load Cell Click
Mikroe MIKROE-3168 Load Cell Click is a weight measurement click that utilizes a load cell element to precisely measure the weight of an object. This click board can be used with the strain gauge type of load cells and can measure up to ±20V or ±40V of differential voltage. The MIKROE-3168 load cell click features low-power consumption, dual 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) differential inputs with low-noise programmable gain-amplifiers, and covering gain ratio from 32x to 128x. Mikroe MIKROE-3168 Load Cell Click is used in weight-measurement applications, measuring the strain force applied on the shafts, machine parts, and objects exposed to forces that cause strain.
The MIKROE-3168 load cell click uses a 24-bit Avia Semiconductor HX711 ADC designed for weight scale applications. This device incorporates two high-resolution 24-bit ADC with differential inputs and internal low-noise programmable gain amplifiers. Since the input voltages are very low, this ADC is required to obtain the best possible signal-noise ratio from the load-cell connected at the input terminals.
