DATA CONVERTERS

4-kV Peak Isolated Amp: The AMC1200 is optimized for direct connection to shunt resistors or other low voltage-level signal sources. It is over 90% more linear and offers 80% less gain drift at 50% of the power compared to other solutions.
Resources: Data sheet, evaluation module, TINA-TI™ Spice model, reference design, anti-aliasing calculation tool for A/D converters, op amp to ADC circuit topology calculator

  • ±250-mV input voltage range
  • Extended temperature range of -40 to 105°C; suitable for industrial applications
  • Applications: Motor control—high-voltage, wind turbine, UPS, power inverter

AMC1200: Price (1ku): $2.65

 

16-Bit, 20-MHz Isolated ΔΣ Modulator for Current Shunt Measurements: The AMC1204's integrated capacitive isolation barrier features excellent magnetic immunity. It is 30% more linear than the nearest competitor, which enables more accurate measurements, and it features superior AC performance (SNR: 84dB min, THD: -80dB max).
Resources: Data sheet, evaluation module, IBIS model

  • Integrated capacitive isolation barrier with 1.2-kV peak continuous working voltage
  • External clock: 5 to 20MHz
  • Applications: Motor control—high-voltage, wind turbine, UPS

AMC1204: Price (1ku): $4.15

POWER MANAGEMENT

4.5-V to 18-V Input, 2-A Synchronous Step-Down SWIFT™ Converter: With
D-CAP2™ architecture, the TPS54227 provides better than 20-µs transient response time, ¼ of the time of typical current mode or voltage mode control using similar 22-µF ceramic output capacitors. As a result, output voltage ripple of less than 10mV is achievable without compensation components and tedious loop-response calculations.
Resources: Data sheet, evaluation module, PSpice transient model

  • Integrated 155-mΩ high-side and 108-mΩ low-side MOSFETs
  • Adjustable soft-start time
  • Applications: Digital TV, HD Blu-Ray, networking home terminal, set-top box

TPS54227: Price (1ku): $1.45 - $1.75
