Time-to-Digital Solar Powered Applications

Solar Power Scales Well Suited to Time-to-Digital Technology
Strain Gage Applications

The efficient design and long battery life of Acam TDCs makes them ideal for use in solar powered devices. Acam time to digital converters are the digital upgrade and replacement to traditional analog solutions. TDCs in their digital and efficient nature are prime for new markets in solar energy and solar technology. Acam TDCs can be designed to operate solar power under natural, artifical, and incandescent light sources.

Application Notes - Solar Powered Scales

Design Guidelines for Building Solar Scales

Using the PS08 Using the PS081

Solar Powered Body Scale

solar body scale

In 2008 Acam presented a solar body scale with the PS08 time-to-digital converter. Using PICOSTRAIN® technology, this was the first real solar driven scale that used strain gages as sensors. The circuitry has been optimized for edge conditions in body scales.

Solar Powered Kitchen Scale

With new circuitry in the PICOSTRAIN® PS081 we now offer the best solution for building solar kitchen scales based on strain gage sensors. The scale solution we designed is a true solar scale that has no battery backup. The scale is driven by solar power alone.
