Maybe that is because you have not met the common mode input requirements of the AD620. At the bottom of page 3, of the AD620 data sheet, is shown the common mode input voltage range.Micheal_Leo said:i have supplied 5v to both strain guage and AD620 , however while measuring output from AD620 , mV values fluctuates a lot , ...
I list the input design voltages in order, for a supply of +5 V.
The order of computation is 1, 2, 3, 4.
1. Vp = +5 V. Positive power supply.
2. Vp – 1.4 V = 3.6 V. Maximum AD620 CM input voltage.
4. Voltage at top of bridge = 3.35 V; ( 5.0 - 3.35 ) * 120Ω = 198 ohms.
3. Vin midpoint = ( 2.1 + 3.6 ) / 2 = 2.85 V = ideal S+ and S- voltages.
4. Voltage at bottom of bridge = 2.35 V; 2.35 * 120Ω = 282 ohms.
2. Vn + 2.1V = 2.1 V. Minimum AD620 CM input voltage.
1. Vn = 0 V. Negative power supply.
Check: 198Ω + 282Ω = 480Ω = 120Ω x 4 = 4 volts dropped external to the bridge.
So the resistors to use will be:
From Vp to top of bridge use = 100Ω + 100Ω = 200Ω.
From Vn to bottom of bridge use = 100Ω + 180Ω = 280Ω.
