This design attenuates the high common-mode
voltage of the bus to a level that falls within the linear input range of the
AMC1311B-Q1. Some key possible circuit error sources can be considered as
follows:
- The AMC1311B-Q1 has a typical input bias current
of 3.5nA. With RLV = 100kΩ, this input bias current manifests appears
as an 350µV offset error at MID. When this offset is calculated in a
root-sum-of-squares with the 400µV typical input offset voltage of the
AMC1311B-Q1, a 532µV offset results. This offset represents 0.0266% of the 2V
full-scale range, and is typically not the dominating error factor.
- The gain error and integrated nonlinearity error of the AMC1311B-Q1 can be
approximated using the Isolated
Amplifier Voltage Sensing Excel Calculator. For this example, the
typical FSR error is calculated as 0.07%.
- The anticipated typical initial ratiometric gain
tolerance of the RES80A500-Q1 is approximately 0.02%, which sums with the
previously mentioned errors of the AMC1311B-Q1 in a root-sum-of-squares manner
to give a total typical FSR error of 0.078%.
- The level-shifting circuit introduces additional errors, and applies a gain
factor to the previously discussed errors. However, due to the low offset of the
OPA388-Q1 and high precision of the RES11A-Q1, these additional errors (0.014%
FSR) are low enough to not significantly impact the final typical error. Because
the errors and the full-scale range are both scaled by 2.5 in this stage, the
effective error as a percentage of the full-scale range remains the same.
The final calculated result of 0.079% typical FSR
error represents a 1σ value, so a ±6σ estimate gives ±0.473% FSR error. The results
suggest the circuit meets the ±0.5% FSR application requirement, with margin.
