Filtering signal from transducer
« on: February 25, 2018, 03:59:16 pm »
Hello dear colleagues, i have some questions for you about signal filtering. I want to project daq for my pressure transducer. Firstly, I have a signal from transducer (voltage about 30-60mV), then i design differential amplifier with gain of 20, and the output voltages transducer now are 500mV-1,1V, but when get a signal in osciloscope, there are a lot of noise. So, the question is, what filter is best to use for this type of signal (pressure transducer), also I want to know when it is better to filter signal? Before amplification or after differential amplifier?. I read some information on the internet and I understood, that one of the option for this situation is passive low pass (RC) filter, but I didnt know what value of cutoff frequency should be, and also low pass filter will attenuate my useful signal. So, guys, I would be thankful if you suggest some solutions.

Differential amp schematics is attached, i use LM324, instead LMC6484.

1) You have a differential amplifier whose performance is highly
dependent on resistor accuracy (ratio accuracy) to reject common
mode noise. I would advise you use an IA vs roll your own. This
is an excellent treatise on the use of IAs.

2) Generally a low pass filer is desired, you trade off its BW versus settling time
when you design. Use TI filter designer, or Analog Devices, to do the design.

What are you doing with the result ? Here is a digital filter and differential A/D approach to
a bridge sensor problem. Note its shown as single ended, differential is just a setting. A/D is
20 bits so can look at a bridge directly in most applications. Cypress PSOC 5LP family.





Here is the board you would use to proto -
