Ω is permitted.

APPLICATIONS

Typical 3-wire application with an input signal referenced to ground

Figure 7 shows a 3-wire application in which AM460 amplifies and converts a positive voltage signal refer-

enced to ground. The unused blocks (e.g. OP2) have been set to defined operating points. Alternatively, these

function groups can also be used here (e.g. to supply external components).
