FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The AMC1204 is a 1-bit digital output, isolated
2
•
±250mV Input Voltage Range Optimized for
delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator that can be clocked at up
to 20MHz. The digital isolation of the modulator
output is provided by a silicon dioxide (SiO2) barrier
that is highly resistant to magnetic interference. This
barrier has been certified to provide basic galvanic
isolation of up to 4000VPEAK according to UL1577,
IEC60747-5-2, and CSA standards or specifications.

CSA, IEC60747-5-2, and UL1577 Approved
Isolation Voltage: 4000VPEAK
Working Voltage: 1200VPEAK
Transient Immunity: 15kV/µs
The AMC1204 provides a single-chip solution for
measuring the small signal of a shunt resistor across
an isolated barrier. These types of resistors are
typically used to sense currents in motor control
inverters, green energy generation systems, and
other industrial applications. The AMC1204
differential inputs easily connect to the shunt resistor
or other low-level signal sources. An internal
reference eliminates the need for external
components. When used with an appropriate external
digital filter, an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 14
is achieved at a data rate of 78kSPS.

A 5V analog supply (AVDD) is used by the modulator
while the isolated digital interface operates from a 3V,
3.3V, or 5V supply (DVDD). The AMC1204 is
available in an SO-16 (DW) package and is specified
from –40°C to +105°C.
