The CS5516 and CS5520 Bridge Transducer A/D converters address many of the common error sources encountered when digitizing bridge transducers. This application note describes many of these error sources and explains how to minimize their effects. Many of the features of the CS5516 and CS5520 which allow for the control of these error sources are also discussed. Some of the content of this application note was originally a portion of the CS5516 and CS5520 data sheet and was titled" Enemies of the Strain Gauge".
