3.1.5 Output Stage

The output stage provides two types of signals for evaluation and flexibility in testing:

  • Hardware-Integrated Signal Output: This path provides the output after analog integration using the TLV9001 op amp. This method represents the fully conditioned current signal from the Rogowski coil (CT-like signal), ready for direct measurement and digitization.
  • Amplified Signal without Hardware Integration: This path bypasses the integrator stage, allowing the user to test software-based integration methods. The method provides the raw amplified Rogowski coil signal, which is especially useful when evaluating digital integration performance in the ADS131M08 Metrology Evaluation Module.

The output connectors are designed to directly interface with the ADS131M08 Metrology Evaluation Module, eliminating the need for manual jumper wires or rework. This streamlined approach improves test efficiency, reduces errors from miswiring, and makes sure of a reliable connection between the signal conditioning board and the metrology platform.

The corresponding PCB layout shows the two different output connectors. The top one being the hardware integrated signal and the bottom one being the amplified signal pre-integration.
