Design files

Overview

This reference design showcases a cost-optimized architecture that improves resolution of a binary-input module. A microcontroller unit (MCU) is shared between two-input channels (group isolation) to minimize the cost per channel. Wide-input range is covered using an amplifier with gain and MCU-integrated 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to measure within ±3% accuracy. This architecture eliminates the need for multiple hardware versions based on input voltage range as is the case with an opto-coupler based topology. A digital isolator is used to communicate the ADC code or the root-mean-square estimate of the input to the host processor. The design is tested for ESD, EFT and surge as per IEC61000-4 Level 4.

Features
  • Measurement accuracy: <±3% over a wide-input range for AC/ DC input using 10-bit SAR ADC
  • MCU shared between two channels (group isolation) to minimize cost per channel with additional unassigned input channels for larger channel count group isolation
  • Wide-input range covered using an amplifier with two gain stages
  • Choice of basic or reinforced isolation between input and the host processor using digital isolator
  • Onboard current pulse generator (20 mA to 50 mA, 50 ms) using MCU PWM output to remove the contamination (anti-burnishing) on the binary input contacts
