AD5940 open circuit potentiometry

Thread Summary

The user inquired about configuring the AD5940 to perform potentiometric measurements for a pH sensor without using an external op amp. The final answer confirmed that the LPTIA can be used as a voltage follower by connecting the pH sensor to the RC0_0 pin and using AIN4/LPF0 as the output to the ADC MUX. The accompanying answers clarified that SW7 should be connected to the feedback path and SW0 to Vzero, ensuring the input impedance is not limited by Rload.

Hello,

I want to use the ad5940 to do potentiometric measurements for a pH sensor.

I configured the ad5940 to do voltage measurements across RE0 and a AIN pin and it can take voltage measurements. I noticed the the ad5940elcz board uses an external voltage follower to take voltage measurements from the high impedance pH sensor. Is it possible to configure the ad5940's internal switches to take advantage of the lptia (or some other opamp) to take measurements from a pH sensor without adding an external op amp? If so, how could I do this?

Thanks!
