Component building blocks

Functional blocks for selection; device connections and component values depend on your design.

FUNCTION / 01

Isolated current and voltage sensing

Measure shunt-current or divided-voltage signals across an isolation boundary using the corresponding amplifier function.

FUNCTION / 02

Analog data acquisition

Digitize analog signals using the channel count, resolution, sample rate and interface recorded for each ADC.

FUNCTION / 03

Measurement reference

Provide a voltage reference for an analog measurement path; select the output voltage and accuracy for the converter design.

FUNCTION / 04

Wired equipment interfaces

Provide RS-485 or isolated RS-422/RS-485 communication between equipment controllers.
