AMC1400: Quiescent current for IC in loop power application

Rohit6230

Part Number: AMC1400
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC161S997, AMC1300, AMC1200, AMC1100

Hi,

We are designing an isolated loop power 4–20 mA transmitter using the DAC161S997 IC. and I want to Monitor 4–20 mA of current output by adding 10E ohm shunt in between loop outputs to measure whether the given current output is OK or Not. For that, I am planning to use an AMC1400 isolated amplifier. Please let me know the quiescent current for the AMC1400 or other isolated amplified devices available in the TI store for the monitoring loop current.

Hi Rohit,

There is no issue with this configuration.

What is the isolation voltage that your application is considering? The AMC1400 is our highest rated isolated device, reinforced with 14mm creepage/clearance. We have devices with the same signal chain in smaller packages and lower isolation ratings such as AMC1300B.

The power consumption of the device can be found in the power supply section of the electrical characteristics table. These devices do not have quiescent current as normal amplifiers do.

Thanks Alexander for reply.

I want to take feedback of 4-20mA current output from same transmitter design and identify the fault condition if occure. I have current limit in whole designing <3 mA because this is 2 wire loop power transmitter.

Please confirm me IDD1 and IDD2 is continues power consumption of AMC1300 ?

Hi Rohit,

Yes, IDD1 and IDD2 is the continuous power consumption of the device.

These devices are meant for high voltage applications where isolation to protect humans or other circuitry is necessary. Is there a large difference in voltage potential between the 4-20mA and your controller?

Voltage potential 0.4 Volt to 2.0Volt only but we have isolated 4-20mA current output section from microcontroller so that while taking feedback of same loop we are thinking to used isolator.

Hi Rohit,

In this case, a device such as AMC1100 or AMC1200 should be sufficient.

AMC1400 is meant for up to 10kV+ transient voltages!
