#172560 - why 8V or 20V
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Sorry , i cant follow You - there was 20V in first post, now You mention 8V.
I suppose it is some very strange loadcell -
- today "standard" loadcells with glued tensoresistors have output of 0,8...3 mV/V . Does Your loadcell have 3.5 mV/V output? (70mv/20V)?
- Is Your loadcell tensoresistor bridge type? If so - why You thinking high voltage excitation?
If not - this discussion is almost useless without loadcell's datasheet.

On other side - You can power load cell with "independent" 20V . With resistive divider You can build loadcell's "gnd" point -
- to be connected to ADC's "gnd" point
- to be 2.5V down-offseted below loadcell's output.

Maybe this proposal is wrong - i was thinking about such connection but never tried.
regards
