GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD420 is a complete digital to current loop output converter, designed to meet the needs of the industrial control market. It provides a high precision, fully integrated, low cost single-chip solution for generating current loop signals in a compact 24-lead SOIC or PDIP package.
The output current range can be programmed to 4 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA to 20 mA or to an overrange function of 0 mA to 24 mA. The AD420 can alternatively provide a voltage output from a separate pin that can be configured to provide 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, or ±10 V with the addition of a single external buffer amplifier.
The 3.3 M Baud serial input logic design minimizes the cost of galvanic isolation and allows for simple connection to commonly used microprocessors. It can be used in 3-wire or asynchronous mode and a serial-out pin is provided to allow daisy chaining of multiple DACs on the current loop side of the isolation barrier.
The AD420 uses sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) DAC technology to achieve 16-bit monotonicity at ver...
