GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8557 is a zero drift, sensor signal amplifier with digitally programmable gain and output offset. Designed to easily and accurately convert variable pressure sensor and strain bridge outputs to a well-defined output voltage range, the AD8557 accurately amplifies many other differential or single-ended sensor outputs. The AD8557 uses the Analog Devices, Inc. patented low noise auto-zero and DigiTrim® technologies to create an accurate and flexible signal processing solution in a compact footprint.
