Abstract:
A circuit for exciting at least one DC sensor is provided in which the circuit has a digital regulation controller connected to a main system and to a regulation loop. The main system has a DAC connected to the sensor via a non-inverted amplified path and via an inverted amplified path in order to send sensor excitation signals including a DC component in differential mode. The regulation system includes an ADC connected to the amplified paths. The circuit includes a monitoring system that is connected to the controller in parallel with the converter in order to send signals as a function of an AC component of the signals taken from the amplified paths. The digital controller is arranged to inject a sinewave in common mode into the excitation signals and to analyze signals output by the monitoring system and signals output by the ADC.
