Figure 2-2 shows the TIDA-010985
analog front end (AFE) key system components as mentioned in the following list:
- Mechanical connectors to DC+, DC– and
Protected Earth (PE)
- The quasi-balanced resistive network providing multiple test
resistance combinations (Rsn, R1, Rsp).
- TPSI2240 bidirectional solid-state switches (SW1, SW2) to
alternate the resistive network
- Single-supply inverting amplifier for
voltage sensing of VDC– relative to PE. Voltage is scaled down to ADC level (Vn). Required
to calculate RisoN and RisoP.
- Single-supply voltage buffer for
voltage sensing of VDC+ relative to PE. Voltage is scaled down to ADC level (Vp). Required
to calculate RisoN and RisoP.
- A microcontroller is used to control these switches, sample the
analog outputs (simultaneously), and calculate the insulation
resistances.
Figure 2-3 shows the simplified schematic with the target system connected. The IMD must determine
all Riso and Ciso passive values.
