Overview
Le GainAMP Click Board™ est basé sur l'amplificateur à gain programmable numériquement (PGA) à double canal et à faible bruit LTC6912.
La carte GainAMP Click Board™ est conçue pour fonctionner sur une alimentation 3,3 V ou 5 V. Elle communique avec le MCU cible via l'interface SPI, avec des fonctionnalités supplémentaires fournies par les broches suivantes sur la ligne mikroBUS : AN, RST.
The GainAMP Click Board™ carries the LTC6912 dual-channel, low noise, digitally programmable gain amplifier (PGA), from Analog Devices. The click is designed to work on either a 3.3V or 5V power supply. It communicates with the target MCU over the SPI interface, with additional functionality provided by the following pins on the mikroBUS™ line: AN, RST.
The GainAMP Click Board™ also features three pairs of screw terminals and a power indication LED.
How Does The GainAMP Click Board™ Work?
The gains for both channels are independently programmable, using a 3-wire SPI interface to select voltage gains of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100V/V (LTC6912-1). All gains are inverting.
The LTC®6912 consists of 2 matched amplifiers with rail-to-rail outputs. When operated with unity gain, they will also process rail-to-rail input signals.
A half-supply reference generated internally at the AGND pin supports single power supply applications. Operating from single or split supplies from 2.7V to 10.5V total.
Programmable Gain Amplifier
A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is an electronic amplifier whose gain can be controlled externally (by analogue or digital signals).
