The Load Cell 5 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board representing a weigh scale solution. This board features the AD7780, a pin-programmable, low-power, 24-bit sigma-delta ΣΔ ADC from Analog Devices. It interfaces directly to the load cell, where the low-level signal from the load cell is amplified by the AD7780’s internal low noise programmable gain amplifier programmed to operate with a gain of 128 or 1. It also has a power-down mode allowing the user to switch off the power to the bridge sensor and power down the AD7780 when not converting, increasing the product battery life. This Click Board™ has many features that make it a perfect solution for safety-critical and weight measurement applications.
The Load Cell 5 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
