CN0335 provides robust and complete solution for ±10 voltage to digital conversion with isolation, for measurements where, voltage is used as standard interface. The design solution is optimized for high precision and low cost measurement, using only three active devices, and has a total unadjusted error of less than 0.1% FSR. The accuracy depends on the calibration. The circuit shown in Figure 1 incorporates AD8606ARZ OpAmp, AD7091RBRMZ 12-bit successive approximation (SAR) ADC, and ADuM5401ARWZ isolator to create a standard ±10 voltage measurement system. The circuit has 12 pin PMOD connector on board, which could be used for connection to a customer microprocessor or FPGA. This CN0335 circuit note discusses the design steps needed to optimize the circuit shown in Figure 1 for a specific bandwidth including noise analysis and component selection considerations.

The performance of the circuit could be demonstrated with the use of Analog Devices SDP controller EVAL-SDP-CB1Z and SDP-to-PMOD Interposer Board SDP-PMD-IB1Z, both optional purchase items. This user guide will discuss how to use the evaluation software to collect data from the EVAL-CN0335-PMDZ Evaluation Board CN0335
