Figure 84 shows an application of the ADS1235 with a bridge circuit. The excitation voltage provided to the bridge is the ADC power supply voltage (5 V). Due to the low input-referred noise of the ADS1235, in many applications there is no need for an additional gain amplifier. The excitation voltage sense lines are connected to the reference inputs of the ADC with a noise filter. This configuration provides ratiometric operation that cancels noise and drift of the excitation voltage.
The input signal and reference voltage paths are filtered with equal-value components to remove high frequency noise from affecting the measurement.
