Resistive sensor interface circuits using operational conveyor and operational amplifier

Abstract

A simple technique based on commercially available devices to implement three interface circuits for both differential resistive sensors and single resistive sensors is presented in this article. Each proposed scheme uses an operational conveyor and an operational amplifier as active elements. Surpassing the previously reported circuits, the proposed circuits provide not only simpler structures but also higher accuracy. Performances of the proposed circuits are verified through computer simulations. © 2012 ICIC International.
