Recommended Interface Circuits for FA408

Standard analog conditioning topologies for converting variable resistance into calibrated microcontroller inputs.

1. Voltage Divider Interface

Connect FA408 in series with a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor to an ADC pin. Simplest approach for touch detection and threshold triggering.

2. Active Op-Amp Inverting Amp (Linear)

Place FA408 in the feedback path of an inverting op-amp. Output voltage scales directly linear with force.
