GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AM402 is a monolithically integrated current
converter which has been specially developed
for the processing of differential bridge signals. AM402 is suitable for two- and threewire applications and has four function blocks.
A high-precision instrumentation amplifier
(IA) serves as an input stage. A reference voltage source, which can be adjusted to values of
between 4.5 and 10V, excites external components and a voltage-controlled current output
stage converts the voltage signal. It is thus
possible to generate output currents which correspond to the normal industrial standards
(0/4–20mA, 12 ± 8mA).
APPLICATIONS
• Industrial Process Control
• Sensor Signal Converter (e.g. pressure)
• Programmable Current Source
