LVDT electronics, Part 1: Excitation and demodulation

September 21, 2020 By Bill Schweber

The interface electronics for the LVDT must excite the primary-side winding with a sine wave and then demodulate the two resultant secondary-side waveforms; modern ICs make this analog-signal process fairly straightforward. The first two parts of this LVDT article (see References) looked at the LVDT transducer itself, along with its attributes and history. This second […]
