When using an external clock or quartz resonator, the output data rate is directly proportional to the clock frequency or quartz frequency. Using an 11.0592 MHz clock or quartz crystal, it gives accurate results of 10 (pin RATE in the low state) or 80SPS (pin RATE in the high state).\u00a0<strong>The output 24 bits of<\/strong> data are completed to a complete binary format. When the input differential signal in the 24-bit range disappears, the output data will be reached at the minimum or maximum value, viz. 800000h (MIN) or 7FFFFFh (MAX), until the input signal returns to the input range.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9801ff7\" data-id=\"9801ff7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f19d4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9f19d4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04283_5_kwadrat.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"04283_5_kwadrat\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTExMjcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9ib3RsYW5kLnN0b3JlXC9ibG9nXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8xMFwvMDQyODNfNV9rd2FkcmF0LmpwZyJ9\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04283_5_kwadrat-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-91127\" alt=\"HX711- Verst\u00e4rker f\u00fcr Dehnungsmessstreifen - SparkFun SEN-13879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04283_5_kwadrat-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04283_5_kwadrat-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04283_5_kwadrat-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04283_5_kwadrat.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">HX711- amplifier for strain gauge beam - SparkFun SEN-13879.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6c42b6 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"a6c42b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/botland.store\/pressure-sensors\/4283-hx711-amplifier-for-a-strainer-beam-sparkfun-sen-13879-5903351247351.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">CHECK<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5738e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e5738e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Serial interface<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57f4ca8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"57f4ca8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The PD_SCK and DOUT pins<\/strong> are used for data transmission, data download, input selection, gain selection and shutdown. When the output data is not ready for download, the DOUT digital output pin is in the high state. The serial clock of the PD_SCK input should be in the low state. When the DOUT output goes low, it will indicate that the data is ready for download. By applying 25 ~ 27 positive clock pulses to the PD_SCK pin, data is shifted from the DOUT pin. Each PD_SCK pulse shifts by one bit, starting with the MSB bit, until all 24 bits are shifted. The 25th pulse on the PD_SCK input will flip the DOUT pin back to high. Input selection and gain is controlled by the number of PD_SCK input pulses. PD_SCK clock pulses should not be less than 25 and more than 27 in one conversion period to avoid the occurrence of serial transmission errors.        <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HX711 &#8211; 24-bit on-chip analog-to-digital converter &#8211; find out the technical details in our article!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":91138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[340,339],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-compendium","category-electronics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>HX711 - What is it and what is it used for?
