Figure 1. Isolated Multichannel Data Acquisition Simplified Circuit (All Connections and Decoupling Not Shown)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The circuit shown in Figure 1 is an isolated multichannel data
acquisition signal chain consisting of a multiplexer, programmable
gain stage, ADC driver, and a fully differential, precision, successive
approximation register (SAR) ADC. The channel switching and
gain switching is synchronized to the conversion period of the
ADC.
The system can monitor up to eight channels using a single ADC,
reducing component count and cost compared to systems with
one ADC per channel. Each channel can be configured with
a different gain, allowing for flexibility of input ranges. It is
manipulated by the complex programmable logic device (CPLD)
which can be configured in the Labview graphical user interface
(GUI). The effective sample rate for each channel is equal to the
sample rate of the ADC divided by the total number of channels
being sampled.
The maximum sample rate of the system is limited by the settling
time of the components (such as the programmable gain amplifier
(PGA) bandwidth and RC filter bandwidth) in the analog front
end and the isolated digital interface clock rate which runs at
75 MHz. Multiplexed signals are discontinuous in nature, resulting
in potentially large voltage steps between sampling intervals.
The components in the signal chain must be given adequate time
to settle to these steps before the ADC performs a conversion.
To maximize the time given for the signal to settle, the multiplexer
channels are switched immediately after the ADC begins a new
conversion.
The board power supply can take a dc input from 5 V to 12 V
at the dc jack or 12 V from the SDP-H1 controller board. The
ADP2441 dc-to-dc converter generates 3.3 V for the digital
interface and the ADuM3470 primary supply input. The
ADP5070, ADP7118, and ADP7182 are used to generate
positive and negative ±15 V supplies. The ADP7118 is used to
generate 5 V, 3.3 V, and 1.8 V for the analog and digital power
supplies. The ADuM141E is selected for isolated high speed SPI
communication. It has 150 Mbps maximum data rate, low
propagation delay, and low dynamic power consumption.
Component Selection
The ADG5207 is a high voltage, latch-up proof, 8-channel
differential multiplexer. The ultralow capacitance and charge
injection of these switches make them ideal solutions for data
acquisition and sample-and-hold applications, where low glitch
and fast settling are required. A switching network at the inputs
of the ADG5207 adds compatibility with both single-ended and
differential input signals. The active channel is selected via the
address pins of the device, which are controlled by the CPLD,
and which can be configured in the GUI.
The AD8251 is a programmable gain instrumentation amplifier
that provides selectable gain settings of 1, 2, 4, and 8. The higher
gain settings boost smaller input signals to the full-scale input
range of the AD4003. Each gain setting has its own suitable
input range, which is shown in Table 1.
