APPLICATION
•
The AMC1204-Q1 provides a single-chip solution for
measuring the small signal of a shunt resistor across
an isolated barrier. These types of resistors are
typically used to sense currents in motor control
inverters, green energy generation systems, and
other industrial applications. The AMC1204-Q1
differential inputs easily connect to the shunt resistor
or other low-level signal sources. An internal
reference eliminates the need for external
components. When used with an appropriate external
digital filter, an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 14
is achieved at a data rate of 78 kSPS.
A 5-V analog supply (AVDD) is used by the
modulator while the isolated digital interface operates
from a 3-V, 3.3-V, or 5-V supply (DVDD). The
AMC1204-Q1 is available in SO-16 (DW) packages
and are specified from –40°C to 125°C.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

IEC SAFETY LIMITING VALUES
Safety limiting intends to prevent potential damage to the isolation barrier upon failure of input or output (I/O) circuitry. A
failure of the I/O circuitry can allow low resistance to ground or the supply and, without current limiting, dissipate sufficient
power to overheat the die and damage the isolation barrier, potentially leading to secondary system failures.
The safety-limiting constraint is the operating virtual junction temperature range specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings
table. The power dissipation and junction-to-air thermal impedance of the device installed in the application hardware
determine the junction temperature. The assumed junction-to-air thermal resistance in the Thermal Information table is that of
a device installed in the JESD51-3, Low Effective Thermal Conductivity Test Board for Leaded Surface Mount Packages and
is conservative. The power is the recommended maximum input voltage times the current. The junction temperature is then
the ambient temperature plus the power times the junction-to-air thermal resistance.

Creepage and clearance requirements should be applied according to the specific equipment isolation standards of a specific
application. Care should be taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of the board design to ensure that the mounting
pads of the isolator on the printed circuit board (PCB) do not reduce this distance. Creepage and clearance on a PCB become equal
according to the measurement techniques shown in the Isolation Glossary section. Techniques such as inserting grooves and/or ribs on
the PCB are used to help increase these specifications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMC1204-Q1 is a single-channel, second-order, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulators designed for medium- to highresolution analog-to-digital conversions. The isolated output of the converter (DATA) provides a stream of digital
ones and zeros. The time average of this serial output is proportional to the analog input voltage.
Figure 41 shows a detailed block diagram of the AMC1204-Q1. The analog input range is tailored to directly
accommodate a voltage drop across a shunt resistor used for current sensing. The SiO2-based capacitive
isolation barrier supports a high level of magnetic field immunity as described in the application report ISO72x
Digital Isolator Magnetic-Field Immunity (SLLA181A, available for download at www.ti.com). The external clock
input simplifies the synchronization of multiple current sense channels on system level. The extended frequency
range of up to 20 MHz supports higher performance levels compared to the other solutions available on the
market.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The differential analog input of the AMC1204-Q1 is implemented with a switched-capacitor circuit. This switchedcapacitor circuit implements a second-order modulator stage that digitizes the input signal into a 1-bit output
stream. The externally-provided clock source at the CLKIN pin is used by the capacitor circuit and the modulator
and should be in the range of 5 MHz to 22 MHz. The analog input signal is continuously sampled by the
modulator and compared to an internal voltage reference. A digital stream, accurately representing the analog
input voltage over time, appears at the output of the converter at the DATA pin.
ANALOG INPUT
The AMC1204-Q1 measures the differential input signal VIN = (VINP – VINN) against the internal reference of 2.5
V using internal capacitors that are continuously charged and discharged. Figure 42 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC input circuitry; the right side of Figure 42 illustrates the input circuitry with the capacitors
and switches replaced by an equivalent circuit.
In Figure 42, the S1 switches close during the input sampling phase. With the S1 switches closed, CDIFF charges
to the voltage difference across VINP and VINN. For the discharge phase, both S1 switches open first and then
both S2 switches close. CDIFF discharges approximately to AGND + 0.8 V during this phase. This two-phase
sample/discharge cycle repeats with a period of tCLKIN = 1/fCLKIN. fCLKIN is the operating frequency of the
modulator. The capacitors CIP and CIN are of parasitic nature and caused by bonding wires and the internal ESD
protection structure.

The input impedance becomes a consideration in designs with high input signal source impedance. This high
impedance may cause degradation in gain, linearity, and THD. The importance of this effect, however, depends
on the desired system performance. This input stage provides the mechanism to achieve low system noise, high
common-mode rejection (105 dB), and excellent power-supply rejection.
There are two restrictions on the analog input signals VINP and VINN. First, if the input voltage exceeds the
range AGND – 0.5 V to AVDD + 0.3 V, the input current must be limited to 10 mA because the input protection
diodes on the front end of the converter begin to turn on. In addition, the linearity and the noise performance of
the device are ensured only when the differential analog input voltage remains within ±250 mV.

MODULATOR
The modulator topology of the AMC1204-Q1 is fundamentally a second-order, switched-capacitor, ΔΣ modulator,
such as the one conceptualized in Figure 43. The analog input voltage (X(t)) and the output of the 1-bit digital-toanalog converter (DAC) are differentiated, providing an analog voltage (X2) at the input of the first integrator or
modulator stage. The output of the first integrator is further differentiated with the DAC output; the resulting
voltage (X3) feeds the input of the second integrator stage. When the value of the integrated signal (X4) at the
output of the second stage equals the comparator reference voltage, the output of the comparator switches from
high to low, or vice versa, depending on its previous state. In this case, the 1-bit DAC responds on the next clock
pulse by changing its analog output voltage (X6), causing the integrators to progress in the opposite direction,
while forcing the value of the integrator output to track the average of the input.

The modulator shifts the quantization noise to high frequencies, as shown in Figure 44; therefore, a low-pass
digital filter should be used at the output of the device to increase the overall performance. This filter is also used
to convert from the 1-bit data stream at a high sampling rate into a higher-bit data word at a lower rate
(decimation). A digital signal processor (DSP), microcontroller (µC), or field programmable gate array (FPGA)
can be used to implement the filter. Another option is to use a suitable application-specific device such as the
AMC1210, a four-channel digital sinc-filter.

DIGITAL OUTPUT
A differential input signal of 0 V ideally produces a stream of ones and zeros that are high 50% of the time and
low 50% of the time. A differential input of 250 mV produces a stream of ones and zeros that are high 78.1% of
the time. A differential input of –250 mV produces a stream of ones and zeros that are high 21.9% of the time.
This is also the specified linear input range of the modulator with the performance as specified in this data sheet.
The range between 250 mV and 320 mV (absolute values) is the non-linear range of the modulator. The output
of the modulator clips with a stream of only zeros with an input less than or equal to –320 mV or with a stream of
only ones with an input greater than or equal to 320 mV. The input voltage versus the output modulator signal is
shown in Figure 45.
The system clock of the AMC1204-Q1 is typically 20 MHz and is provided externally at the CLKIN pin. The data
are synchronously provided at 20 MHz at the DATA output pin. The data are changing at the falling edge of
CLKIN; for more details see the Timing Information section.

FILTER USAGE
The modulator generates a bit stream that is processed by a digital filter to obtain a digital word similar to a
conversion result of a conventional analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A very simple filter, built with minimal effort
and hardware, is a sinc3-type filter, as shown in Equation 1:
3
H(z) =
1 - z-OSR
1 - z-1
(1)
This filter provides the best output performance at the lowest hardware size (count of digital gates). For an
oversampling rate (OSR) in the range of 16 to 256, this filter is a good choice. All the characterization in this
document is also done with a sinc3 filter with OSR = 256 and an output word width of 16 bits.

In a sinc3 filter response (shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47), the location of the first notch occurs at the
frequency of output data rate fDATA = fCLK/OSR. The –3 dB point is located at half the Nyquist frequency or
fDATA/4. For some applications, it may be necessary to use another filter type with different frequency response.
Performance can be improved, for example, by using a cascaded filter structure. The first decimation stage could
be built of a sinc3 filter with a low OSR and the second stage using a high-order filter.

Figure 47. Pole Response of the Sinc3 Filter
The effective number of bits (ENOB) is often used to compare the performance of ADCs and ΔΣ modulators.
Figure 48 illustrates the ENOB of the AMC1204-Q1 with different oversampling ratios. In this data sheet, this
number is calculated from SNR using Equation 2:
SNR = 1.76dB + 6.02dB ´ ENOB
(2)
In motor control applications, a very fast response time for overcurrent detection is required. The time for fully
settling the filter depends on its order; that is, a sinc3 filter requires three data clocks for full settling (with fDATA =
fCLK/OSR). Therefore, for overcurrent protection, filter types other than sinc3 might be a better choice; an
alternative is the sinc2 filter. Figure 49 compares the settling times of different filter orders with sincfast being a
modified sinc2 filter with behavior as shown in Equation 3.
