Texas Instruments AMC1301/AMC1301-Q1 Reinforced Isolated Amplifier

Texas Instruments AMC1301/AMC1301-Q1 Reinforced Isolated Amplifier is a precision, isolated amplifier with an output separated from the input circuitry by an isolation barrier. This isolation barrier is highly resistant to magnetic interference. This barrier is certified to provide reinforced galvanic isolation of up to 7kVPEAK according to VDE-V 0884-10 and UL1577. This device prevents noise currents on a high common-mode voltage line from entering the local ground and interfering with or damaging sensitive circuitry using isolated power supplies.

The input of the AMC1301/AMC1301-Q1 is optimized for direct connection to shunt resistors or other low voltage level signal sources. The excellent performance of the device supports accurate, current control resulting in system-level power savings and, especially in motor control applications, lower torque ripple. The integrated common-mode overvoltage and missing high-side supply voltage detection features of the AMC1301/AMC1301-Q1 simplify system-level design and diagnostics. The AMC1301/AMC1301-Q1 is fully specified over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and is available in a wide-body 8-pin SOIC package. The Texas Instruments AMC1301-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
