CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
The circuit in Figure 1 is a completely isolated, robust, industrial,
4-channel data acquisition system that provides 16-bit, noise
free code resolution and an automatic channel switching rate
of up to 42 kSPS. The channel to channel crosstalk at 42 kSPS
switching is less than 15 ppm FS (less than −90 dB) because of
the unique selection of fast settling components in the multiplexed
signal chain.
The circuit acquires and digitizes standard industrial signal
levels of ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 V to 10 V, and 0 mA to 20 mA. The
input buffers also provide overvoltage protection, thereby
eliminating the leakage errors associated with conventional
Schottky diode protection circuits.
Applications for the circuit include process control (PLC/DCS
modules), battery testing, scientific multichannel instrumentation,
and chromatography.

Four channels of input signals are buffered by the ADA4096-4,
a quad, rail-to-rail, input/output op amp featuring overvoltage
protection against phase reversal or latch-up for inputs of up to
32 V above or below the ±15 V supply rails, which eliminates
the need for additional overvoltage protection circuitry.
The inputs are designed for typical low frequency, industrial
signals of ±10 V. The input buffers provide a high impedance
to the sources and isolate the inputs from the multiplexer switching
transients.
The RC networks on the inputs of the buffers (10 Ω/10 nF)
have a bandwidth of 1.6 MHz and provide high frequency noise
filtering.
The RC networks on the outputs of the ADA4096-4 (47 Ω/47 nF)
isolate the buffers from the multiplexer switching transients.
Figure 2 shows an equivalent circuit. The drain capacitor, CD,
must be charged by the input voltage before switching to the
next channel. There can be as much as 20 V between channels,
and a transient current is generated when the multiplexer switches
to the next channel.
