System Setup www.ti.com The PGA309_Test_Board also has an onboard sensor emulator. The sensor emulator is a circuit that generates the same type of signals generated by a bridge sensor. The sensor emulator circuit is controlled by the PGA309EVM-USB software. Using the sensor emulator allows you to get a deeper understanding of the PGA309EVM-USB software and hardware more quickly. When the capabilities and functions of the PGA309EVM-USB are fully understood, you can connect the real-world sensor

System Setup www.ti.com Figure 7 shows the sensor emulator circuit. The sensor emulator generates signals to help users evaluate the PGA309. No part of this circuit is required in your final design. The sensor emulator uses a DAC8555 (U8) to generate an emulated temperature signal, common-mode signal, and differential signal. These signals can be controlled using software to produce levels that closely match real-world sensors. Figure 7. PGA309_Test_Board Schematic: Sensor Emulator Circuitry The
