LOAD TRANSDUCER WITH SERIAL SYNCHRONOUS INTERFACE

Abstract:

A load-sensor-based system utilizing a digital serial synchronous interface (SSI). One example system includes an A/D converter configured to be coupled to a load sensor and to receive signals indicating a load on the load sensor. A first controller is coupled to the A/D converter and to the SSI and is configured to receive, via the A/D converter, a first signal at a first sampling rate. The first controller is also configured to receive, via the A/D converter, a second signal at the first sampling rate, and receive, via the SSI, a request for a load value at a first period of time. The first controller is configured to determine the load value at the first period of time based on the first and second signals, and send, via the SSI, the load value at the first period of time to the load controller.
