DESIGN FEATURES AND USER BENEFITS
Isolated Loop Power: Internal loop supply completely
isolates the loop from the input terminals (1500 V rms) and
provides the capability to drive 0 Ω to 1000 Ω loads. This elimi-
nates the need for an external dc/dc converter.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1B22 is an isolated voltage-to-current converter that
incorporates transformer isolation to achieve high performance
and automated surface mount manufacturing for low cost
and increased reliability. Designed for industrial applications,
it is especially suited for harsh environments with extremely
high common-mode interference. With programmable inputs
and outputs, the 1B22 provides an unbeatable combination of
versatility and performance in a compact plastic package.
Ease of Use: The 1B22 offers complete isolated voltage-to-
current conversion with minimum external parts required to get
a conditioned current signal. No external buffers or drivers are
required.
High CMV Isolation: The 1B22 features high input to output
galvanic isolation to eliminate ground loops and offer protection
against damage from transients and fault voltages. The isolation
barrier will withstand continuous CMV of 1500 V rms and meets
the IEEE Standard for Common-Mode Voltage Transient Pro-
tection (STD 472-SWC).
Functionally, the V/I converter consists of four basic sections:
input conditioning, modulator/demodulator, isolated loop
supply and current source (Figure 1). The 1B22 is pin program-
mable for 0 V to +5 V or 0 V to +10 V inputs and 0 to 20 mA
or 4 to 20 mA outputs using an internal resistor network. It can
also be set by an external resistor to accept 0 V to +1 V to 0 V
to +10 V inputs. Transformer coupling provides 1500 V rms
galvanic isolation between the inputs and the current loop.
Nonlinearity is an excellent 0.05% max.
Small Size: The 1B22 package size (1.0" × 2.1" DIP) makes it
an excellent choice in multichannel systems for maximum chan-
nel density. The 0.35" height also facilitates applications with
limited board clearance.
Loop power is generated internally through a dc/dc converter
and is also isolated from the input side (1500 V rms). Loop
compliance voltage is dependent on the voltage supplied to the
1B22, and with VLOOP = 28 V, it is sufficient to drive a 1000 Ω
load.
The 1B22 is fully specified over –25°C to +85°C and operates
over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
