ADS1262 32-bit, 11-Channel Multifunction Low-Noise, High-Resolution ADC Breakout Board (PC-4143)
Don't have it yet? Buy one here: ProtoCentral ADS1262 32-bit precision ADC breakout board (PC-4143)
The 24-bit ADS1220 ADC still not enough for you? Need more? Look no further than the ADS1262 from Texas Instruments — a 32-bit Delta-Sigma ADC with a built-in PGA, voltage reference, current sources and everything else but the kitchen sink.
What does 32-bit precision mean to you? Compared to a commonly used 12-bit ADC which can provide 4,096 levels of the input analog voltage, a 32-bit ADC can, in theory, provide 4,294,967,296 levels!
Now plug-in your high-precision strain gauge or load cell directly to this ADC without any external analog signal conditioning. Whether it is for ultra-high precision weighing scales, strain gauges, RTDs or chemical sensors, you can be assured that you will get the highest available precision from this breakout board.
