All of the converters (CS5504-09) can be
operated with a single +5 V supply. All of the
converters can also be operated with +5 V
analog supply and +3.3 V on the digital supply.
If this dual supply arrangement is used, the
digital supply should be derived from the analog
supply to ensure proper operation. Under all
conditions, including start-up, the voltage on the
VA+ pin must be the more positive than any
other pin on the device to ensure proper
substrate biasing of the chip.
CS5507/8 with +10 V Analog Supply and
+5 V Digital Supply
It is common for many weigh scales to be
operated from batteries with a 12 V
automotive-type battery being common. The
CS5504/5/6/7/8 devices can be operated with
higher supply voltage on the analog portion of
the chip than on the digital portion (Note: the
CS5509 is an exception and is specified with an
analog supply of +5 V only). The analog supply
(VA+) must always be the most positive voltage
on the chip to ensure proper operation. Figure 4
illustrates the CS5507 operating from +10 V on
the analog and +5 V on the digital. The bridge is
excited with the +10 V and resistors are used to
divide this excitation supply to obtain a
ratiometric voltage reference of about 3.33 V for
the converter. The circuit is designed to operate
with the A/D in bipolar mode to yield more
µ
V/count. The A/D is set-up for an input span of
±
3.33 V. A 200k pull down resistor forces a
