GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AM452 is an integrated transducer with an

adjustable current output which has been

specifically designed for the conditioning of

differential

input

signals.

permits

the

independent adjustment of the offset and full-

scale current using just a few components.

The IC consists of various functional modules. In

addition to the instrumentation amplifier in the

signal path there is an operational amplifier which

is used to set the gain. The offset can be adjusted

using the Zero adjust stage and/or the SET stage

module.

An additional operational amplifier can supply

external components. The adjustable current

output stage permits 2- and 3-wire operation by

way of a simple amendment to the circuitry.

The IC is distinguished by its many protective

functions which include protection against

reverse polarity and short-circuiting and also an

internal current limit.
