The new amplifiers are based on optical insulation technology and sigma-delta modulation for signal processing.
Motor control power stages require a combination of current sensing and power device protection to achieve accurate fail-safe motor operation. These current sensors, which feedback the motor phase or rail current to the microcontroller, are typically optimized for accuracy to provide precise control. Once a fault condition has been detected, the power device circuitry shuts off the device to prevent destruction of the power device and load.
Avago’s ACPL-785J series of isolation amplifiers come in a compact small outline-16 (SO-16) package with a footprint that is 10.3 mm (L) by 10.2 mm (W) by 3.5 mm (H). The addition of the ACPL-785J to its existing HCPL-78xx family of isolation amplifiers will enable motor control designers to reduce the printed circuit board (PCB) size required for their designs. These new SO-16 packages are compliant to most industrial safety standards such as IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5, UL 1577 and CSA.
Features and Benefits
