gettin rid of a voltage offset
gettin rid of a voltage offset
(OP)
Hi Guys
any ideas on how to get rid of a dc offset, im using two pressure transducers, and want to find the difference in pressure over the two sensor, but at atmospheric pressure im getting a dirty offset of about 2 volts at both pressure sensors, and i need it to be at zero, i cant use a high pass filter because it will cut out some of my signal
any ideas?

A manual adjustment DAC generating a comparable DC offset is another

Half full - Half empty? I don't mind. It's what in it that counts.
RE: gettin rid of a voltage offset
yeah i realized i just need to use a instrumentation amplifier to get common mode rejection, which gets rid of the offset being at 2v, but now its at 100mV and i need to amplify the signal, so i still need to get rid of 100mV offset
@ Skogsgurra, the two pressure sensors are places either side of a resistive film, and when air is blown into them, they will produce different pressures, then therefore work out the difference of pressure over the resistive film
mind my ignorance but is there a op amp which you could subtract voltage from the other input? so say i amplified this by gain of 10, my offset would now be 1v, could i some how subtract 1v?
RE: gettin rid of a voltage offset
If there's a residual offset, then you would have to calibrate that out using an analog or digital offset.
Another totally different approach would be to use a two-port pressure difference sensor and plumb it so that it directly measures the delta.
RE: gettin rid of a voltage offset
that would pretty much describe every op amp ever built. You need to read up or get some help.
Is this for a school project?
