THEORY OF OPERATION OVERVIEW
Refer to Appendix C for reference designators.
7.1.1 MAIN / ADC BOARD ASSEMBLY
Power to the scale is supplied by a 12 VDC, 500 mA adapter. Regulator U1 supplies
+5 VDC to the digital components. Regulator U8 su 10 VDC to the analog
components including load cell excitation. Switching regulator V5 inverts the + 10
VDC to – 10 VDC to act as the negative supply rail. Regulators V4 and V6 further
regulate to
±
8 VDC for the A/D converter IC, U9.
Op-amp U11 forms a high impedance bridge amplifier for the load cell with a fixed
gain of
100. Op-amp U10:B forms a low pass filter to prevent unwanted noise from
entering the circuit. The other half of U10 (U10:A) provides a buffered reference
voltage for op-amp U11. The A/D converter, U1, is a dual slope type converter.
Timing is controlled by the microcontroller.
Microcontroller U2 executes several functions including A/D fetch, digital signal
conditioning, key scan, serial communication, and display output. EEPROM U5
contains calibration data as well as the setup parameters. IC U7 is the EPROM,
which contains program memory. The network around U4 boosts the MCU’s UART
signal to RS-232 level for serial communication with a host device.
7.1.2 DISPLAY/KEY BOARD ASSEMBLY
This circuit contains footprints for 5 keys, display driver (U4) and the LED Display
(U1-U3).
