MAXREFDES82#

The MAXREFDES82# from Maxim Integrated Circuit is a smart force sensor system board. Mounted on a quadrant of load cells channelled into a multi channel, 24bit analogue to digital converter (ADC), MAXREFDES82# senses weight and centre of mass for objects placed on the platform. The scale provides full scale responses up to 780g. The user interface provides an active display of centre of mass on the platform as well as total measured weight. In addition to serving as a smart force sensor, the design works very well as a ruggedized touch interface with force sensing. This compact next generation industrial smart force sensor board is designed in a compact form factor for rapid evaluation or installation. This reference design features the MAX11254 24bit, 6-channel, 64Ksps delta sigma ADC with SPI interface and design uses STM32F429 processor which controls ADC, LCD module and performs all computations.
