OVERVIEW
The MCP3421 Weight Scale Demo Board works with the LabVIEW™ Graphical User
Interface (GUI) PC Software. This demo board demonstrates how to use the MCP3421
18-bit Delta-Sigma ADC for weight scale applications. It uses the PIC18F4550 micro-
controller for data processing and USB communication with PC. This board also dem-
onstrates the changes in the system performance by adjusting the parameters of the
sensor signal conditioning circuits using the MCP6V07 auto-zeroed op amp.
