3 Description
The PGA970 is an interface device for LVDT sensors.
The device incorporates analog front end that directly
connects to the sense element and has voltage
regulators and oscillator. The device also includes
analog-to-digital converters, ARM Cortex-M0
microprocessor and FRAM memory. Sensor
compensation algorithms can be implemented in
software. The PGA970 includes multiple output
interfaces.
