... what would it cost to build a one-off, where a PCB is required, and so on?
The glue is cheaper than the chip, and if he already has a processor, he might not need a crystal. However the output of an LVDT is the amplitude relative to the drive signal, and you need a fair amount of good analogue stuff around the device for best performance. We current control ours, rather than voltage control them for improved stability with temperature. ...so, six bucks for a complete, tunable DDS system + the rest of the LVDT system, phase conscious rectifier, smoothing and AD Steve |
