Abstract : A direct resistance-to-digital converter (RDC) that is suitable for differential resistive sensors is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The RDC presented here provides a digital output that is linearly proportional to the parameter being sensed by a differential resistive sensor possessing either linear or inverse characteristics. The RDC employs the sigma-delta analog-to-digital conversion (Sigma-Delta ADC) principle and, hence, possesses all the advantages and limitations of such an ADC. Analysis shows that the proposed RDC has negligible sensitivity to variations in circuit parameters. Experimental results on a prototype built and tested gave a worst-case error lt; 0.15%, establishing the efficacy of the proffered RDC.
