PS09 Resistance-to-Digital Converter

PS09 Resistance-to-Digital Converter

The PS09 is a system on chip for ultra low power and high resolution applications.

It was designed especially for weight scales but fits also to any kind of force, pressure or torque measurements based on metal strain gauges.

It takes full advantage of the digital measuring principle of PICOSTRAIN. Thus, it combines the performance of a 28-bit converter with a 24-bit microprocessor.
