SBASAD0B March 2022 – December 2024 AMC23C10
PRODUCTION DATA
The AMC23C10 is an isolated comparator with an open-drain and push-pull output that is specifically designed for zero-crossing detection of high-voltage signals that must be galvanically isolated from low-voltage circuitry. The comparator compares the input voltage (VINP) against the reference voltage (VINN) that is typically 0V (INN is shorted to GND1). The open-drain output is actively pulled low when VINP is above VINN and returns to a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state when VINP is below the VINN level. The push-pull output is actively driven high when VINP is above VINN and is actively driven low when VINP is below the VINN level. The comparator has built-in hysteresis (VHYS) that is centered around VINN.
Galvanic isolation between the high- and low-voltage side of the device is achieved by transmitting the comparator states across a SiO2-based, reinforced capacitive isolation barrier. This isolation barrier supports a high level of magnetic field immunity, as described in the ISO72x Digital Isolator Magnetic-Field Immunity application note. The digital modulation scheme used in the AMC23C10 to transmit data across the isolation barrier, and the isolation barrier characteristics, result in high reliability and common-mode transient immunity.
