  • Hello Poster!

    Our support staff is taking time with their families for the Independence Day holiday here in the US.  It may be July 8th before we can get back to you with help on your query.  We apologize in advance for the delay and will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Hi Tirthal,

    The ADS1222 is not the best device for making load cell measurements as you cannot make ratiometric measurements beyond 2.5V excitation (the maximum reference input voltage is 2.5V).  Also, the ADS1222 does not have a PGA for gain,so external gain would be required. 

    Some alternative devices would be the ADS1232, the ADS1220 and the ADS124S06.  These devices will all accept a 5V reference with gains up to 128 possible.  The pricing will vary depending on additional features that may be included.

    Best regards,

    Bob B
