GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SBAS512A – APRIL 2011 – REVISED APRIL 2011
The AMC1204 is a single-channel, second-order, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator designed for medium- to
high-resolution analog-to-digital conversions. The isolated output of the converter (DATA) provides a stream of
digital ones and zeros. The time average of this serial output is proportional to the analog input voltage.
Figure 41 shows a detailed block diagram of the AMC1204. The analog input range is tailored to directly
accommodate a voltage drop across a shunt resistor used for current sensing. The SiO₂-based capacitive
isolation barrier supports a high level of magnetic field immunity as described in the application report ISO72x
Digital Isolator Magnetic-Field Immunity (SLLA181A, available for download at www.ti.com). The external clock
input simplifies the synchronization of multiple current sense channels on system level. The extended frequency
range of up to 20MHz supports higher performance levels compared to the other solutions available on the
market.
