DESCRIPTION
The AMC1204 and AMC1204B are 1-bit digital
output, isolated delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulators that can
be clocked at up to 20MHz. The digital isolation of the
modulator output is provided by a silicon dioxide
(SiO2) barrier that is highly resistant to magnetic
interference. This barrier has been certified to provide
basic galvanic isolation of up to 4000VPEAK
(AMC1204) and 4250VPEAK (AMC1204B) according to
UL1577, IEC60747-5-2, and CSA standards or
specifications.
The AMC1204 and AMC1204B provide a single-chip
solution for measuring the small signal of a shunt
resistor across an isolated barrier. These types of
resistors are typically used to sense currents in motor
control inverters, green energy generation systems,
and other industrial applications. The AMC1204 and
AMC1204B differential inputs easily connect to the
shunt resistor or other low-level signal sources. An
internal reference eliminates the need for external
components. When used with an appropriate external
digital filter, an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 14
is achieved at a data rate of 78kSPS.
A 5V analog supply (AVDD) is used by the modulator
while the isolated digital interface operates from a 3V,
3.3V, or 5V supply (DVDD). The AMC1204 and
AMC1204B are available in SO-16 (DW) packages
and are specified from –40°C to +105°C.
