This design attenuates the high common-mode
voltage of the bus to a level that falls within the linear input range of the
AMC1311B-Q1. Some key possible circuit error sources can be considered as
follows:
- The AMC1311B-Q1 has a typical input bias current
of 3.5nA. With RLV = 25kΩ, this input bias current manifests appears
as an 88µV offset error at MID. When this offset is calculated in a
root-sum-of-squares with the 400µV typical input offset voltage of the
AMC1311B-Q1, a 410µV offset results. This offset represents 0.0205% of the 2V
full-scale range, and is typically not the dominating error factor.
- The gain error and integrated nonlinearity error of the
AMC1311B-Q1 can be approximated using the Isolated
Amplifier Voltage Sensing Excel Calculator. For this example, the
typical FSR error is calculated as 0.06%.
- The typical initial ratiometric gain tolerance of
the RES60A500-Q1 is 0.02%, which sums with the previously mentioned errors of
the AMC1311B-Q1 in a root-sum-of-squares manner to give a total typical FSR
error of 0.066%.
- The level-shifting circuit introduces additional errors, and
applies a gain factor to the previously discussed errors. However, due to the
low offset of the OPA388-Q1 and high precision of the RES11A-Q1, these errors
(0.012% FSR) are low enough to not significantly impact the final typical error.
The final calculated result of 0.068% typical
FSR error represents a 1σ value, so a ±6σ estimate gives ±0.41% FSR error. The
results suggest the circuit meets the ±0.5% FSR application requirement, with
margin.
