Abstract
Ivlany measurement circuits use divider of two analog signals, for example temperature measurement circuit using resistive bridge; deformation measurement bridge Analog divided circuit is a highly difficult and complex to design This paper presents an analog divided method to obtain digital results by using (SIWAREX) of SIEMENS Results are then compared with tradition method to assert really nght ofmettiod

1 Introduction
In this paper, a study of advantages and
disadvantages of using ADC as divided circuit The
analyzed in documents or books on the measurement
that has only been menhoned m same of application
the method Results of the experiments show that the
proposed method out-performed traditional one
2 The Method Using Converter ADC as a Divided
Circuit
An ADC output value is calculated hy the
formula
_U^
q
In this equation Ui is an input voltage;
SUPPLY VOLTAGE
(1)
i-'i la ait l u ^ u i v u i m g c ,
q IS a last significant bit
In ADC the q value is derived from the
reference voltage
Thus, the output N of an ADC is a number
proportional to the ratio of the input voltage and the
reference voltage However, the ADC reference
voltage IS interpreted as a constant voltage, both
voltage regulators inside and outside ADC, Hence,
the output value of the ADC is only a varied number
of input voltages
In formula (I) if Um voltage, reference
voltage Vref are considered as two analog variables,
we will have N as a percentage of the ratio of two
analog signals Uin and Vref This divider has result is
numeric This is advantage compare with another
analog divider

Fig.l The importance signals of ADC Divided circuit two analog signals are widely apphed m the measurement circuit because of its
of load cell is often used for 1-way circuits (for Wheatston - [2]) with one or two actives branch Here we analyze a 1 arm bridge circuit works as follows:
For this scheme an approximate one can calculate
R ^cc
Accordmg to the above formula, we have the resistor raUo is considered as the output voltage of the bridge considered to bridge the supply voltage is constant Therefore result is measurement of diagonal voltage, as it would need to ensure that errors of supplier are small From these observations, there is a more accurate method if we put 2 signals (and the diagonal voltage supply) to the input of the ADC and the standard sources, such as the value of the ADC output IS proportional to the second ratio of input voltage and power supply This model has been used
in [2] without clearly identified its advantages

From the experiment results in Table I we had foilowmg conclusions;
When there is a slightly change of power supply (0.05 V), there would be a sweeping change in the first working mode While, with the divided mode, the reference voltage for sensor power supply (second mode), the measurement results are almost
no changed
When usmg mode I, to ensure the stability and accuracy of measurement results, the power supply of

easy to use in digital systems as in microprocessor or
