AMC1200-Q1: voltage sampling ,AC voltage , noise , sensor

Part Number: AMC1200-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA2171, AMC1200, UCC27424

Hi ,first thank you for reading my question.

This is problem I met:

L1 and N1 are the input AC voltage-220VAC.

I acquire the voltage through AMC1200-Q1 ,then I amplify the diffirential signal through OPA2171 ->for PFC control 

But when the AC Vin rised up to 200VAC (3kW),I increased  the operating frequency of MOSFET which is in the LLC,not in PFC, the AC voltage signal PFC_IN_Uac had a DC offset.

I dont know why the sensed AC voltage signal had a DC offset, however I suspect that the increasement of frequency had an influece  in it.

How should I design the AC voltage sample circuit?

Should I add an OPA in front of AMC1200 like the figure in       www.ti.com.cn/.../tidrv40a.pdf

What is the reason the lead to the DC voltage bias?

Thank you again.

Good luck!

  • Hi User,

    what DC voltages are we talking about?

    Are you sure that you never violate the input voltage range specifications of AMC1200? Can you measure the potential at VINN and VINP referenced to GND2?

    Disconnect the OPA2171 circuitry from the output of AMC1200 and connect a DVM directly between VOUTP and VOUTN. Can the DC offset still be seen?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your interest in the AMC1200!

    In addition to the questions Kai asked, what are the operating frequency values of the MOSFET?

    Kai,

    Thank you for your post!
  • Vac_max=220*2^0.5=311V

    VINP-VINN=311*460/(150k*8+460)=120mV   <250mV

    VINP-GND=60mV

    so I think it didnot violate the common mode  range and differential mode range.

    The operating frequency of MOSFET in LLC can reach 120kHz~170kHz.

    I measured it again and 1.65V rised up with the increasment of Operating frequency of Mos in LLC .

    I dont find the reason why 1.65V rised up .

    The only link between 1.65V and frequency is GND1.

    GND1 is the groud of isolated gate driver(UCC27424), is 1.65V influend through GND1?

  • Hi User,

    have you taken into consideration that R27 destroys the symmetry of difference amplifier OP1A? Have you also considered that the right side of R27 might not sit exactly on 1.65V? The left side will, but the right side?

  • Thank you for your reply first.

    I had changed it in 2 ways.

    1. short voltage follower 

    In fact, I had shorted off voltage follewer like the picture below,it did not work well

    2. change the value of R27 from 1k to 100Ω

    It did not work well either.

    The phenomeno that +1,65V rised up tinily had a big influence of final resuit.

  • Hi User,

    you could reduce R23 to 14k. R23 + R27 is 15k again.
