ADS1118: Compatibility

Part Number: ADS1118

Hey guys, 

I am going to use PCB Piezotornics vibration sensor 640B01, can I use the ADS1118 to convert the Analog singal to Digital signal for my DAQ?

Thank you!

  • Xiaohui,


    I'm not very familiar with this type of piezo vibration sensor. However, the ADS1118 should be able to measure input voltages from GND to VDD as long as GND is at a ground and VDD is less than 5.5V.

    Because the 640B01 is driven from a 4-20mA loop, you could use a sense resistor of 100Ω so that a 4mA signal becomes 400mV and a 20mA signal becomes 2V. This allows you to use the default range of ±2.048V. Make sure that the input signal does not exceed VDD by more than 0.3V.

    If you have a schematic, I would be willing to review it. If you have any other questions, feel free to post back.
