GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 1B22 is an isolated voltage-to-current converter that


incorporates transformer isolation to achieve high performance
and automated surface mount manufacturing for low cost
and increased reliability. Designed for industrial applications,
it is especially suited for harsh environments with extremely
high common-mode interference. With programmable inputs
and outputs, the 1B22 provides an unbeatable combination of
versatility and performance in a compact plastic package.
Functionally, the V/I converter consists of four basic sections:
input conditioning, modulator/demodulator, isolated loop
supply and current source (Figure 1). The 1B22 is pin programmable for 0 V to +5 V or 0 V to +10 V inputs and 0 to 20 mA
or 4 to 20 mA outputs using an internal resistor network. It can
also be set by an external resistor to accept 0 V to +1 V to 0 V
to +10 V inputs. Transformer coupling provides 1500 V rms
galvanic isolation between the inputs and the current loop.
Nonlinearity is an excellent 0.05% max.

DESIGN FEATURES AND USER BENEFITS

Isolated Loop Power: Internal loop supply completely


isolates the loop from the input terminals (1500 V rms) and
provides the capability to drive 0 to 1000 loads. This eliminates the need for an external dc/dc converter.
Ease of Use: The 1B22 offers complete isolated voltage-tocurrent conversion with minimum external parts required to get
a conditioned current signal. No external buffers or drivers are
required.
High CMV Isolation: The 1B22 features high input to output
galvanic isolation to eliminate ground loops and offer protection
against damage from transients and fault voltages. The isolation
barrier will withstand continuous CMV of 1500 V rms and meets
the IEEE Standard for Common-Mode Voltage Transient Protection (STD 472-SWC).
Small Size: The 1B22 package size (1.0" 2.1" DIP) makes it
an excellent choice in multichannel systems for maximum channel density. The 0.35" height also facilitates applications with
limited board clearance.

Loop power is generated internally through a dc/dc converter


and is also isolated from the input side (1500 V rms). Loop
compliance voltage is dependent on the voltage supplied to the
1B22, and with VLOOP = 28 V, it is sufficient to drive a 1000
load.
The 1B22 is fully specified over 25C to +85C and operates
over the industrial (40C to +85C) temperature range.

1B22
INSIDE THE 1B22

The 1B22 produces an isolated 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA output current which is proportional to the input voltage and
independent of the output load resistance (Figure 1). The input
stage is configured as an inverting amplifier with a resistor network to provide pin-strappable input ranges of 0 V to +5 V and
0 V to +10 V and output ranges of 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA.
The conditioned signal is modulated to generate a square wave
that drives transformer T1. The peak-to-peak amplitude of the
signal is proportional to VIN. An internal, high stability reference
with a nominal output voltage of +6.4 V is used to develop a
4 mA offset for the 4 to 20 mA current loop output.
Figure 2. Basic Interconnections

Figure 1. 1B22 Functional Block Diagram

After passing through signal transformer T1, the amplitude


modulated signal is demodulated and filtered by a single pole
filter. This filtered output is the control signal for the voltageto-current converter stage. Timing information for the
demodulator is derived from the power transformer T2. The
1B22 outputs are protected from accidental shorts to ac line
voltages up to 240 V rms. Combined with 1500 V input to output isolation, the 1B22 provides unbeatable protection against
transients, wiring errors and current loop short circuits to power
lines.

Figure 3. Internal Resistor Network

Optional Trim Adjustments: Figure 4 is an example of using


potentiometers for trimming gain and offset for a 0 V to +10 V
input and 4 to 20 mA output. The network for offset adjustment
keeps the resistors relatively small to minimize noise effects
while giving a sensitivity of 1% of span. The value of R1
should be 5 M for the 0 V to +10 V range (for 0 V to +5 V
configurations, a 1.2 M resistor should be used). For more
adjustment range, resistors smaller than 274 k can be used.

The dc-dc converter consists of a power driver, power transformer T2, a full wave rectifier and a filter. The dc-dc converter
provides the power for the output circuitry as well as the
isolated compliance voltage for the loop. This voltage is proportional to VLOOP on the input side. The 1B22 requires 15 V
supplies to power the input side circuitry and a +14 V to +30 V
supply for the dc-dc converter.

Basic Interconnections: The 1B22 may be applied to achieve


rated performance as shown in Figure 2. For 0 V to 10 V signals
either IN1 or IN2 can be used for input; for 0 V to +5 V signals
jumper IN1 to IN2. Similarly, for 4 to 20 mA operation the
4 mA OFFSET node should be jumpered to the S. NODE,
while for 0 to 20 mA it should be tied to COM. Figure 3 shows
the functional diagram of the resistor network used in the 1B22.

For applications where a separate loop supply is not available,


the 15 V supplies can be used by connecting +15 V to VLOOP
(Pin 24) and COM to P.COM (Pin 25). For additional compliance voltage, P.COM can be connected to 15 V to drive higher
loads.

Synchronizing Multiple 1B22s: In applications where multiple 1B22s are used in close proximity, radiated individual
oscillator frequencies may cause beat frequency related output errors. These errors can be eliminated by driving the SYNC
pins of all the units with a 40 kHz clock circuit at 50% duty
cycle (Figure 5). The SYNC input typically has an input impedance of 150 k180 pF.

Isolated D/A Converter: The 1B22 offers total ground isolation and protection from high voltage transients in interfacing
D/A converters to standard 4 to 20 mA current loops. The D/A
converter, such as the Analog Devices 12-bit AD7245
DACPORT, should be connected for operation on the unipolar 0 V to +10 V output range. This is shown in Figure 7.

Loop Supply Requirements: The 1B22 design allows flexible


loop supply options. The loop supply voltage required for any
value of load resistance can be calculated from the following
equation:

Pressure Transmitter: In Figure 8, the 1B22 is used in a


pressure transmitter application to provide complete inputoutput isolation and avoid signal errors due to ground loop currents. The process pressure is monitored with a strain gage type
pressure transducer interfaced by the Analog Devices 1B32
transducer signal conditioner. The high level voltage output of
the 1B32 is converted to the isolated 4 to 20 mA current for
transmission to a remote recorder or indicator.

VLOOP =

2RL + 780
106

This value allows for approximately 10% overrange capability.


The graph in Figure 6 shows the relationship between supply
voltage and load resistance.
