ZoomingADC™ for Pressure and Temperature Sensing
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS & SENSING
Programmable Gain Amplifiers
As seen in Figure 8, the zooming function is implemented with three programmable gain amplifiers (PGA).
These are:
• PGA1: coarse gain tuning
• PGA2: medium gain and offset tuning
• PGA3: fine gain and offset tuning. Should be set ON for high linearity data acquisition
All gain and offset settings are realized with ratios of capacitors. The user has control over each PGA activation
and gain, as well as the offset of stages 2 and 3. These functions are examined hereafter.
