We have implemented an LVDT driver/decoder and it works fine. Measuring resolution to .0001mm.
However, as you slowly scroll up through the 14-bits worth of counts produced by the A/D converter, there will be spots of noise every
256 counts where the noise goes to +/- 20 counts instead of +/- 1 count. This is not the normal noise at the
ends of the A/D range on the delta-sigma converter but a very repeatable noise in 64 places over the 16k counts.
The LVDT circuit was removed and a pure DC voltage was put into the A/D instead: Same noise spots so I'm convinced
it's inside the chip. Any ideas where this noise is coming from? Also, I'm not the original programmer of the device. I
am a test engineer. Thanks.
