Part Number:ADS131A04
Hello,
I have to do mechanical experiment and capture 4 analogue signals.
I plan to buy evaluation board ADS131A04EVL and connect it to PC to capture digitized signals.
Also I plan to use external processor via SPI and capture same signals via that.
I need to understand if I may do what I want using this evaluation board and later that ADC.
The signal at ADC Channel 0 will be the differential output from tenzo sensor with range from 1mV to 20mV, considering tenzo powers from about 10V DC.
The other ADC Channels 1,2,3 will be the outputs from accelerometer ADXL-337 of X,Y and Z axis.
These outputs of the accelerometer are NOT differential and have a range from 0.9V (at -3G) up to 2.7V (at +3G) when accelerometer is powered from 3.6V DC.
So,I want to know:
1. If I may connect evaluation board to PC and capture all 4 analogue signals for my later calculations at 1000 SPS.
2. If I may use none differential outputs from accelerometer ADXL-337 and directly to connect to ADC ADS131A04 or I will need to make outputs differential first.
3. If I may connect Atmel 328P (Arduino Nano) via SPI 8 Mhz, configure ADC via that and also collect the sampled data of all 4 channels via that SPI into microprocessor.
The sample rate I plan to use at ADC will be not higher than 1000 SPS.
Please help me to understand if I may use evaluation board and later single ADC ADS131A04 chip for what I explained above.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Alex.
