AM422-2

 

Voltage-to-Current Converter IC (Current-Loop Appl.)

Data Sheet
Flyer

AM422-2 is a voltage-to-current converter IC with integrated protection functions especially suitable for industrial sensing and signal-conditioning in current-loop applications. It converts a single-ended input voltage into a current output signal (e.g. 4 .. 20 mA) with adjustable offset and full-scale current.

 

Applications

 

  • 1.Sensor signal-conditioner
  • 2.Current-loop transmitter
  • 3.Protected V/I-converter IC
  • 4.Analog back end for µC
  • 5.Voltage driven current source
  • 6.Industrial process control
