SBASAB3 October 2021 AMC1411-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The 100-μA cross-current requirement at the maximum DC-bus voltage (1000 V) determines that the total impedance of the resistive divider is 10 MΩ. The impedance of the resistive divider is dominated by the top portion (shown exemplary as RX1 and RX2 in Figure 8-1) and the voltage drop across RSNS can be neglected for a moment. The maximum allowed voltage drop per unit resistor is specified as 100 V; therefore, the minimum number of unit resistors in the top portion of the resistive divider is 1000 V / 100 V = 10. The calculated unit value is 10 MΩ / 10 = 1 MΩ and matches a value from the E96 series.
RSNS is sized such that the voltage drop across the resistor at the maximum DC-bus voltage (1000 V) equals the linear full-scale range input voltage (VFSR) of the AMC1411-Q1, which is 2 V. This voltage is calculated as RSNS = VFSR / (VDC-Bus, max – VFSR) × RTOP, where RTOP is the total value of the top resistor string (10 × 1 MΩ = 10 MΩ). RSNS is calculated as 20.04 kΩ. The next closest, lower value from the E96 series is 20 kΩ.
Table 8-2 summarizes the design of the resistive divider.
