• The primary application of bridge circuits in
modern process-control signal conditioning is
to convert variations of resistance into
variations of voltage.
• This voltage variation is then further
conditioned for interface to an ADC or other
system.

 RC Filters
• To eliminate unwanted noise signals from
measurements, it is often necessary to use
circuits that block certain frequencies or
bands of frequencies. These circuits are called
filters.
