Re: AD620 drift

dclm,

 

  Let's go back to the beginning.  With perfect electronics, you still have errors from the load cell

and errors from the A/D module.  The load cell data sheet is rather thin.  Usually for a bridge,

there is a spec for zero offset and gain error.  For the L6H5, the zero error is less than 2% of full scale.

The gain error (sensitivity) is 2mV +/-0.2 or a 10% error.  The A/D module simply says 1% overall.

You are trying to create an absolute voltage output based on bridge drive that goes to an A/D wich

has a different reference.  Usually weigh scales are done with a ratiometric design so the bridge

and the ADC have the same reference.  We sell parts to a large number of customers that make

weigh scales, very similar to your application and have a fair number of parts and reference designs.

See:

The OP177 is an older generation op amp.  You may want to look at the ADA4077-1 or the ADA4638-1,

but I'm not hopeful that you can achieve the results you want with the current architecture.
