PGAxxxEVM-037 Pressure Sensor Signal Conditioner Evaluation Module
Figure 6. Schematic of Resistive Bridge Emulator
The default configuration of the EVM connects the PGAxxx to the resistive bridge emulator with VBRGP
and VBRGN supplying voltage, while VINPP and VINPN are connected to measure the differential voltage
across the legs of the bridge. To use an external bridge or pressure sensor, remove the jumpers J5, J6,
and J7. Next, connect the positive bridge voltage to J3 pin 1 (VBRGP) and the negative terminal of the
bridge to J3 pin 2 (VBRGN). The differential voltage outputs of the bridge can be connected to J2, with pin
1 being VINPP and pin 2 being VINPN, as shown in
