The IC basically consists of an amplifier, whose gain can be set externally, and an output stage which can convert voltage signals referenced to ground to industrial current signals. An additional reference voltage source for the supply of external components is also included in the device. A further operational amplifier can be connected up as a current source, voltage reference or comparator. One of the main features of the IC is its integrated protective circuitry. The device is protected against reverse polarity and has a built-in output current limit. Converter IC AM462 enables industrial current loop signals (e.g. of 0/4-20mA) to be produced relatively easily. Using the Frame ASIC concept [1] the IC can be connected up to a processor for signal correction.

It is designed for both 2- and 3-wire operation in industrial applications (cf. application in Figure 8). AM462's various functions are depicted in the block diagram (Figure 2) which also illustrates how few external components are required for the operation of this particular device. AM462 consists of several modular function blocks (operational amplifiers, voltage-to-current converters and references) which, depending on external configurations, can either be switched to one another or operated separately (see the basic circuitry in Figure 2): 1. Operational amplifier stage OP1 enables a positive voltage signal to be amplified. OP1 gain GGAIN can be set via external resistors R1 and R2. Protective circuitry against overvoltage is integrated into the chip, limiting the voltage to the set value of the reference voltage. Output voltage VOUTAD at pin OUTAD is calculated as: VOUTAD = VINP GGAIN with GGAIN = 1 + R1 R2 (1) where VINP is the voltage at OP1's input pin INP. 2. The internal voltage-to-current converter (V/I converter) provides a voltage-controlled current signal at IC output IOUT (pin 8) which activates an external transistor T1; this in turn supplies the actual output current IOUT. To reduce power dissipation the transistor is an external component and protected against reverse polarity by an additional diode D1. Via pin SET an offset current ISET can be set at output IOUT (with the help of the internal voltage reference and an external voltage divider as shown in Figure 2, for example). External resistor R0 permits the output current to be finely adjusted with parallel operation of current and the voltage output. For the output current provided by T1 the following ratio applies: analog microelectronics Analog Microelectronics GmbH An der Fahrt 13, D - 55124 Mainz Internet: http://www.analogmicro.de Phone: Fax: Email: +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 0 +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 30 info@analogmicro.de December2006 6/20 Rev. 2.4 Industrial V/I Converter and Protector IC AM462 I OUT = VINDAI V + I SET with I SET = SET 8 R0 2R 0 (2) with VINDAI the voltage at pin INDAI and VSET the voltage at pin SET (V/I converter inputs)1.

The AM462 reference voltage source enables voltage to be supplied to external components (such as sensors, microprocessors, etc.). The reference voltage value VREF can be set via pin 13 VSET. If pin VSET is not connected, VREF = 5V; if VSET is switched to ground, VREF = 10V. Values between the above can be set if two external resistors are used (inserted between pin VREF and pin VSET and between pin VSET and GND; see Figure 2). External (ceramic) capacitor C1 at pin VREF stabilizes the reference voltage. It must be connected even if the voltage reference is not in use. 4. The additional operational amplifier stage OP2 can be used as a current or voltage source to supply external components. OP2's positive input is connected internally to voltage VBG so that the output current or output voltage can be set across a wide range using one or two external resistors. The construction of the V/I converter is such that output current IOUT is largely independent of the current amplification F of external transistor T1. Production-specific variations in the current amplification of the transistors used are compensated for internally by the V/I converter. 1 analog microelectronics Analog Microelectronics GmbH An der Fahrt 13, D - 55124 Mainz Internet: http://www.analogmicro.de Phone: Fax: Email: +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 0 +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 30 info@analogmicro.de December2006 7/20 Rev. 2.4 Industrial V/I Converter and Protector IC AM462 INITIAL OPERATION OF AM462 General information on 2- and 3-wire applications and the use of current In 3-wire operation (cf. Figure 3 right and Figure 7) the ground of the IC (pin GND) is connected up to the external mass of the system Ground. The system's supply voltage VS is connected to pin VCC and pin VCC to pin RS+. In 2-wire operation (cf. Figure 3 left and Figure 7) system supply voltage VS is connected to pin RS+ and pin VCC to RS-. The ground of the IC (pin GND) is connected to the node between resistor R5 and load resistor RL (current output IOUT). IC ground (GND) is not the same as system ground (Ground)!! The output signal is picked up via load resistor RL which connects current output IOUT to the system ground. In 2-wire operation the IC ground is "virtual" (floating), as with a constant load resistance the supply voltage of the device VCC changes according to the current. As a rule, the following equation applies to 2-wire operation: VCC = VS - I OUT (VIN ) RL (2) The reason for this is that in 2-wire operation the IC is connected in series to the actual load resistor RL. This is illustrated in Figure 3. In 3-wire operation VCC = VS, as the IC ground is connected to the ground of the system. 2-wire system signal source and conditioning IC GND Ground VCC VS GND VCC IOUT RL VS 3-wire system signal source and conditioning IC GND = Ground VCC = VS IOUT RL VCC = VS Ground Ground = GND Figure 3: The difference between 2- and 3-wire operation Setting the output current range When using amplification stage OP1 together with the V/I converter for voltage-to-current conversion the offset of the output current should first be compensated for by suitable selection of resistors R3 and R4. To this end the OP1 input must be connected to ground (VINP = 0). With the short circuit at the input and by connecting up V/I converter pin VSET as shown in Figure 2 the values of the output current according to Equation 2 are as follows: analog microelectronics Analog Microelectronics GmbH An der Fahrt 13, D - 55124 Mainz Internet: http://www.analogmicro.de Phone: Fax: Email: +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 0 +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 30 info@analogmicro.de December2006 8/20 Rev. 2.4 Industrial V/I Converter and Protector IC AM462 I OUT (V INDAI = 0 ) = I SET = V REF R4 2 R 0 R3 + R 4 (3) and thus for the ratio of the resistors R3/R4: R3 VREF = -1 R4 2R0 I SET (4) The output current range is set in conjunction with the selected external resistors R1 and R2 (or fine adjustment with R0 ). Using Equations 1 and 2 the following is calculated for output current IOUT : I OUT = VINP GGAIN R + I SET with GGAIN = 1 + 1 8 R0 R2 (5) Selecting the supply voltage System supply voltage VS needed to operate AM462 is dependent on the selected mode of operation. When using current output pin IOUT (in conjunction with the external transistor) the value of VS is dependent on that of the relevant load resistor RL (max. 600) used by the application. The minimum system supply voltage VS is then: VS I OUT max RL + VCC min (6) Here, IOUTmax stands for the maximum output current and VCCmin for the minimum IC supply voltage which is dependent on the selected reference voltage: VCC min VREF + 1V RL [] 600 RL VS - VCCmin IOUTmax VCCmin = 6V RLmax = 600 IOUTmax = 20mA (7) 300 Working range 0 0 6 12 18 24 35 VS [V] Figure 4: Working range in conjunction with the load resistor analog microelectronics Analog Microelectronics GmbH An der Fahrt 13, D - 55124 Mainz Internet: http://www.analogmicro.de Phone: Fax: Email: +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 0 +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 30 info@analogmicro.de December2006 9/20 Rev. 2.4 Industrial V/I Converter and Protector IC AM462 The working range resulting from Equation 6 is described in Figure 4. Example calculations and typical values for the external components can be found in the example applications from page 13 onwards.

Lower voltages can be generated (e.g. 3.3V) which with the increasing miniaturization of devices and need for ever lower levels of power dissipation in digital components is today of growing importance.

When operating AM462 it is imperative that external capacitor C1 is always connected (cf. Figure 2). Care must be taken that the value of the capacitance does not lie beyond its given range, even across the range of temperature (see Boundary Conditions on page 7). In 2-wire operation ceramic capacitor C2 must also be used (cf. Figure 8). 2. In a 2-wire setup the power consumption of the overall system (AM462 plus all external components, including the configuration resistors) must not exceed the sum of IOUTmin (usually 4mA). 3. All AM462 function blocks not required by the application must be connected to a defined (and allowed) potential. 4. A load resistance of 600 maximum is permitted for the current output. 5. The values of external resistors R0, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 must be selected within the permissible range given in the boundary conditions on page 7. APPLICATIONS Typical 3-wire application with an input signal referenced to ground Figure 7 shows a 3-wire application in which AM462 amplifies and converts a positive voltage signal referenced to ground. The unused blocks (e.g. OP2) have been set to defined operating points in the application. Alternatively, these function groups can also be used here (e.g. to supply external components). For output current IOUT the following applies according to Equations 1 and 2: I OUT = VINP R GI + I SET with GI = GGAIN = 1 + 1 8 R0 R2 Example: 0...20mA Voltage-To-Current Transmitter To obtain a signal of VINP = 0...1V at the OP1 input the external components are to be dimensioned in such a way that the output current has a range of 0...20mA (i.e. ISET = 0 SET = GND). With R0 = 27: I OUT = VINP G GI + I SET = VINP GAIN 8R0 8 R0 The following then applies to the gain: analog microelectronics Analog Microelectronics GmbH An der Fahrt 13, D - 55124 Mainz Internet: http://www.analogmicro.de Phone: Fax: Email: +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 0 +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 30 info@analogmicro.de December2006 12/20 Rev. 2.4 Industrial V/I Converter and Protector IC AM462 C1 3-wire connection AM462 2 1 13 15 16 ISET = 0 VS I OP2 VBG Voltage Reference 11 10 9 R0 VINP 3 V OP1 4 5 R1 6 14 8 T1 D1 Single-ended input voltage R5 IOUT RL R2 Connections setting unused function blocks to a defined operating point Ground Figure 7: Typical application for input signals referenced to ground GGAIN = 8R0 I OUT 20mA = 8 27 4.32 VINP 1V R1 = 4.32 - 1 = 3.32 R2 Observing the boundary conditions (page 7), the following values are obtained for the external components: R1 33.2k R2 = 10k R0 = 27 R5 = 39 RL = 0...600 C1 = 2.2F Typical 2-wire application with an input signal referenced to ground In 2-wire operation (cf. Figure 8) system supply voltage VS is connected up to pin RS+ and pin VCC to pin RS-. The ground of the IC (pin GND) is connected to the node between resistor R5 and load resistor RL.. IC ground (GND) is not the same as system ground (Ground). The output signal is picked up via load resistor RL which connects current output IOUT to the system ground. It must be ensured that in 2-wire operation an additional current load (use of current/voltage source) is limited to 4mA due to the domestic current supply and limitation. For output current IOUT the following applies according to Equations 1 and 2: I OUT = VINP R GI V R4 + I SET with GI = GGAIN = 1 + 1 and I SET = REF 8R0 R2 2R0 R3 + R4 analog microelectronics Analog Microelectronics GmbH An der Fahrt 13, D - 55124 Mainz Internet: http://www.analogmicro.de Phone: Fax: Email: +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 0 +49 (0)6131/91 073 - 30 info@analogmicro.de December2006 13/20 Rev. 2.4 Industrial V/I Converter and Protector IC AM462 C1 R3 15 16 R4 VS R0 C2 AM462 2 1 13 I OP2 VBG Voltage Reference 11 10 9 VINP 3 V OP1 4 5 R1 IC ground: GND 8 T1 D1 2-wire connection 6 14 Single-ended input voltage R5 IOUT RL R2 System ground: Ground } different potentials!

For signals such as these an offset current is generated at the IC output also when ISET = 0. The circuit can then be dimensioned as described in the following. According to Equation 2 the following applies for a required current swing at the output of IOUT = IOUTmax - IOUTmin: I OUT = VPIN 6 8R0 VPIN 6 = 8R0 I OUT (10) For an input current swing of VIN = VINmax - VINmin the necessary gain is calculated as: G= VPIN 6 VIN (11) If G < 1, the input signal can be routed directly to pin 6 (INDAI) via a voltage divider without OP1 having to be used (see Figure 9). With this circuitry the following results: G= VPIN 6 R9 = VIN R8 + R9 VIN R8 = -1 R9 VPIN 6 (12) From input offset VINmin the following output current is then obtained when ISET = 0: I OUT (VIN min ) = VIN min R9 1 R8 + R9 8R0 (13) Using the SET pin and Equation 2 the required minimum output current IOUTmin can then be set: I OUT = VIN R9 1 V R4 + I SET with I SET = REF 2R0 R3 + R4 R8 + R9 8 R0 (14) Example : 4..20mA Voltage-To-Current Transmitter with Input Signal Offset To obtain a signal of VIN = 0.5...4.5V the external components are to be dimensioned in such a way that the output current has a range of 4...20mA. The circuitry is shown in Figure 9. OP1 is not used here. It is, however, available to the user as an additional OP and can be used as an impedance converter at the voltage-to-current converter input INDAI, for example.
