Applications

The ADCV0831 is ideal for applications operating with ratiometric transducers. The ADCV0831 can measure the signal produced

by the transducer and produce a corresponding code to the microprocessor. The microprocessor can then control the system pro-

ducing the signal.

The ADCV0831 can be used in low-cost remote temperature sensor system. For a temperature sensor, the LM60 is an excellent

companion to the ADCV0831, since it can operate off 3V supply. The LM60 linear scale factor is 6.25mV/˚C. Therefore, the

ADCV0831 can digitize a couple of degrees change in temperature and provide the output to the microprocessor, which in turn

can adjust the system environment. For higher accuracy, a low-offset op-amp can be used to gain up the LM60 output.
