Thread Summary

The user is experiencing issues with the gain and common mode noise in an accelerometer design using ADXL354 and AD7768-4. The final gain is not as expected (1.66), possibly due to the output impedance of the AD8605. The engineer suggests checking the output impedance and considering an inverting amplifier with a gain of 2 to address the issue. The user is also directed to the Precision ADCs forum for more detailed assistance.

Hello,

I am designing an accelerometer to detect earthquake using ADXL354, and AD7768-4. As ADXL354 has 32kOhm resistor inside I use voltage follower and then input single-ended signal to FDA.

I set Rg=299Ohm, Rf=499Ohm, as shown in attached circuit, but the gain is not exactly equal to 499/299 or 1.66.

Also I tried to connect white noise input, but common mode noise is higher 800mV at the output (OUT). 

Please tell me steps to make gain as ratio of Rf/Rg, and reduce common mode noise.

Thank you,

Lhagva 

  

  • Hi  

    What is your final gain? If it is a small error it could be due the output impedance of the ad8605 (more than expected in the 4945 input). Might be an option to use an inverting amplifier with gain 2?

    You can find a table like this in the ad8065 data sheet to find the exact impedance value:


    In any case in order to get proper assistance you can ping the Precision ADCs - EngineerZone forum since they would be able to assist you with more specific details about this parts.

    Hope this helps, do not hesitate to contact us again if you need anything else.
