This low-pass filter circuit can be used as an antialiasing filter with the same supply as the ADC. Filter designs can also take advantage of the LMC649x ultra-low input current. The ultra-low input current yields negligible offset error even when large value resistors are used. This configuration in turn allows the use of smaller-valued capacitors that take up less board space and cost less.
Dielectric absorption and leakage is minimized by using a polystyrene or polypropylene hold capacitor. The droop rate is primarily determined by the value of CHOLD and diode leakage current. Select low-leakage current diodes to minimize drooping.
In a manifold absolute pressure sensor application, a strain gauge is mounted on the intake manifold in the engine unit. Manifold pressure causes the sensing resistors, R1, R2, R3 and R4 to change. The resistors change in a way such that R2 and R4 increase by the same amount R1 and R3 decrease. This causes a differential voltage between the input of the amplifier. The gain of the amplifier is adjusted by Rf.
