ADS1230 problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1230

dear sir

I have used the ADS1230 in my loadcell application.in which i have used the CY8C29666 -24PXI MCU,16X2 LINE LCD & ADS1230 (ADC),.

I am facing the display problem,that what ever the weight indicated on display get zero & ADC get heng up.when i start/stop the 230VAC contactor in electrical panel.

i have used 5 v dc LDO for the loadcell supply & MCU.i have used RC filter 0.1u/270vac Cap + 100ohms resistor across the contactor ,but there in no improvement in display.

so please give me some suggestion to avoid this problem.

i am attaching the sch.of ADS1230 ,

  • Hi Samip,

    If the ADS1230 device gets 'hung up' when you turn on/off your contactor, there is probably a surge either in the 5V rail, or a differential in the ground.  How do you have your board layout configured?  Do you have a solid ground plane or are you point-to-point wired?  I don't see the 5V LDO in your schematic, what sort of filtering do you have there and how much bulk capacitance do you have on the 5V rail?
