Texas Instruments PGA309 Data Sheet/Manual
Summary
This programmable analog signal conditioner is designed for precise measurement of bridge sensors used in industrial applications such as load cells, strain gauges, and weigh scales. Offering high precision and inherent stability, it features digital calibration for zero/span drift, ratiometric output, and comprehensive fault detection (overload, burnout). The accompanying documentation provides engineers with detailed specifications, application guides, and evaluation tools necessary to integrate the device into complex sensing systems requiring reliable and linear signal conditioning across extreme temperatures.
