IC AMC1100 used in single ended i/p not delivering single ended o/p going to CPU TMS320 F28335

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AMC1100, OPA333, INA333, LM7705

IO driver _ Interface_Analog.pdfDear

I am facing analog isolation interface issue with IC AMC1100.

I am using 6 analog i/ps namely

1. Load cell amplified by INA333, buffered by op amp OPA333 & then isolated by AMC1100 with follower Op amp OPA333 & connected to CPU analog i/p channel 

2. 2 nos. PT100 temp sensor amplified using MCP609 op amp & then isolated by AMC1100 with follower Op amp OPA333 & connected to CPU analog i/p channel

3. Cr. Al temp sensor amplified using AD8497, buffered by opamp OPA333 & then isolated by AMC1100 with follower Op amp OPA333 & connected to CPU analog i/p channel

4. RPM sensor pulsed i/p converted from F to V controller LM2917M, buffered by op amp OPA333 & then isolated by AMC1100 with follower Op amp OPA333 & connected to CPU analog i/p channel 

5. Fuel sensor 0 to 5V divided o/p isolated by AMC1100 with follower Op amp OPA333 & connected to CPU analog i/p channel.

Interface circuits attached along with power supply. 

I am getting correct variable analog o/p voltage going as i/p to IC AMC1100 pin no. 2 (Test points TP5, 6, 7, 8, 9), but o/p is fixed 2.58V , not varying for 1st 3 channels (Test points A-1, 2, 3)

Where as in other 3 channels (Test  Point A-4,5,7)I am getting fixed non variable o/p of 1.35 volts.

Isolated 5V (+5VISO)  supply is used for Analog Op amp as well as for AMC1100 primary side.

Where as 3.3V (VCC_A3V3) separate analog supply is used for AMC1100 secondary side + Delfino CPU TMC320 F28355 analog side supply.

For Delfino CPU I am using Digital Power supply as well as Analog power supply of which grounds are shorted using 3.3UH inductor.

Can you guide what wrong is with circuit or  grounding.

  • Hi,

    you shorten the negative Output of the AMC1100 to ground!! As the AMC1100 is a fully differential design with a fully differential Output you have to amplify the difference between out p and out n using an op amp. Than you have a single ended putput delivering the correct value.

    I use the attached design. VBiasN is a very small negative voltage, coming from an LM7705 to have true Zero Output voltage at the ADC Input.

    With best regards

  • Sir
    Thanks for immediate answer. Adding further query:--
    We kept open Pin 6 (VoutN), then we shorted i/p terminals 2 & 3 to ground, then o/p at pin 7 is 1.3V.
    If input 2 (VinP) is given 0 to 0.3V variable voltage, then out put at Pin 7 (VoutP) varies from 1.3V to 2.55V.
    How to remove 1.3V offset voltage when i/p is given zero volt ?

  • Hi,

    you habe single supply and full differential Output. If you have 0V between In P and In N, than Out P and Out N were about halfe of the supply. The difference between Out P and Out N is 0V (we guess there is no Offset error for now). So the difference between In P and In N is transfered to the difference between Out P and Out N.
    You just have to convert the Output as I do, this removes the common voltage on Out P and Out N and gives you a single ended Signal between 0V and supply.
    As the Output of an OP doesnt go to 0V (even it is rail to rail) you can use a small negative bias voltage to get real 0V Output.

    With best regards
