MCP6N11 Instrumentation Amplifier Wheatstone Bridge Reference Design The ARD00354 from Microchip is a brilliant demo board that allows you to test the MCP6N11. The MCP6N11 is an instrumentation amp (INA) and also includes Microchips MCP6V26 and MCP6V27. This board is powered from a USB connection and allows you to easily read data on a PC for ease of use.

This modules bridge output is a small differential mode signal with a large common mode. Also included on the board is a 12-bit ADC to convert analogue signals into a more workable, digital format. Features and Benefits:

• Free software to view data on


• RTD temperature sensing in a Wheatstone bridge


• INA signal condition


• PICmicro signal conditioning and communications

Software: Microchip provides a free software called 'Thermal Management Utility'. You can find a link for it below. Thermal Management Utility handles communications through the USB connected to your board and will display data on a strip chart. It can store single points of calibration ecoefficiency on the PIC MCU and tells the PIC MCU how to configure the average filter.
