Figure 28. Temperature compensated pressure sensor. In this circuit, type SPX pressure sensors from
SenSym Corporation are temperature compensated using the type LM334 temperature-dependent current
source from National Semiconductor Corp. The LM334 output current rises linearly with temperature at
+0.336%/°C. The SPX bridge sensitivity decreases linearly with temperature at -0.235%/°C. Resistor R2
reduces the temperature coefficient of the LM334 circuit to provide span compensation of +0.235%/°C.
Resistor R1 sets the current. For details of how R1 and R2 values are calculated, see application note SSAN-16
from SenSym Corporation.

Figure 29. Potentiometer interface. This circuit can be used to interface any potentiometer to the CyberAmp.
These could be linear or rotary potentiometers used for displacement measurements, or a hand-turned
potentiometer for special input to a data acquisition program. The minimum value of R is 200 Ω, but typically
much higher values would be used.
A.
Unbuffered circuit. The input impedance of the CyberAmp is 1 MΩ.
For R = 1 kΩ, the non-linearity introduced by the 1 MΩ loading is < 0.1%. For R = 10 kΩ, the non-linearity
introduced by the 1 MΩ loading is < 1%.
B.
For larger R values, a buffer amplifier is recommended.
