DS8500
HART Modem
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Single-Chip, Half-Duplex Modem Overlays 1200bps
FSK Digital Communication on Top of Installed 4mA–
20mA Current Loop Infrastructure
The DS8500 is a single-chip modem with Highway
Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) capabilities.
It has been fully tested and verified and has received a
®
HART Certificate of Registration. The device integrates
● Digital Signal Processing Provides Reliable Input
the modulation and demodulation of the 1200Hz/2200Hz
FSK signal, has very low power consumption, and needs
only a few external components due to the integrated
digital signal processing. The input signal is sampled by
an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), followed by a digi-
tal filter/demodulator. This architecture ensures reliable
signal detection in noisy environments. The output digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) generates a sine wave and
provides a clean signal with phase-continuous switching
between 1200Hz and 2200Hz. Low power is achieved
by disabling the receive circuits during transmit and vice
versa. The DS8500 is ideal for low-power process control
transmitters.
