3 Description
The PGA300 device provides an interface for
piezoresistive and strain-gauge pressure-sense
elements. The device is a full system-on-chip (SoC)
solution that incorporates programmable analog front
end (AFE), ADC, and digital signal processing that
enable direct connection to the sense element.
Further, the PGA300 device includes integrated
voltage regulators and an oscillator, thus minimizing
the number of external components. The device
achieves high accuracy by employing third-order
temperature and nonlinearity compensation. External
communication is achieved by using a one-wire serial
interface (OWI) through the power-supply pin in order
to simplify the system calibration process. An
Integrated DAC supports absolute-voltage,
ratiometric-voltage, and 4-mA to 20-mA current-loop
outputs.
