2 Applications
•
The isolation barrier separates parts of the system
that operate on different common-mode voltage levels
and protects the low-voltage side from hazardous
voltages and damage.
The input of the AMC3301 is optimized for direct
connection to a low-impedance shunt resistor or other,
low-impedance voltage source with low signal levels.
The excellent DC accuracy and low temperature drift
supports accurate current measurements over the
extended industrial temperature range from –40°C to
+125°C.
The integrated DC/DC converter fault-detection and
diagnostic output pin of the AMC3301 simplify
system-level design and diagnostics.

Apply creepage and clearance requirements according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application. Care must be
taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a 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 in certain cases. Techniques
such as inserting grooves, ribs, or both on a PCB are used to help increase these specifications.
This coupler is suitable for safe electrical insulation only within the safety ratings. Compliance with the safety ratings must be ensured

by means of suitable protective circuits.
Testing is carried out in air or oil to determine the intrinsic surge immunity of the isolation barrier.
Apparent charge is electrical discharge caused by a partial discharge (pd).
All pins on each side of the barrier are tied together, creating a two-pin device.

6.8 Safety Limiting Values
Safety limiting (1) intends to minimize potential damage to the isolation barrier upon failure of input or output circuitry. A failure
ofthe I/O 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 maximum safety temperature, TS, has the same value as the maximum junction temperature, TJ, specified for the device. The IS
and PS parameters represent the safety current and safety power, respectively. Do not exceed the maximum limits of IS and PS. These
limits vary with the ambient temperature, TA.
The junction-to-air thermal resistance, RθJA, in the Thermal Information table is that of a device installed on a high-K test board for
leaded surface-mount packages. Use these equations to calculate the value for each parameter:
TJ = TA + RθJA × P, where P is the power dissipated in the device.
TJ(max) = TS = TA + RθJA × PS, where TJ(max) is the maximum junction temperature.
PS = IS × VDDmax, where VDDmax is the maximum low-side voltage.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The AMC3301 is a fully differential, precision, isolated amplifier with a fully integrated DC/DC converter that
can supply the device from a single 3.3-V or 5-V voltage supply on the low-side. The input stage of the device
consists of a fully differential amplifier that drives a second-order, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator. The modulator
uses an internal voltage reference and clock generator to convert the analog input signal to a digital bitstream.
The drivers (termed TX in the Functional Block Diagram) transfer the output of the modulator across the isolation
barrier that separates the high-side and low-side voltage domains. As shown in the Functional Block Diagram,
the received bitstream and clock are synchronized and processed by a fourth-order analog filter on the low-side
and presented as a differential output of the device
The signal path is isolated by a double capacitive silicon dioxide (SiO2) insuation barrier, whereas power
isolation uses an on-chip transformer separated by a thin-film polymer as the insulating material.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Analog Input
The differential amplifier input stage of the AMC3301 feeds a second-order, switched-capacitor, feed-forward
ΔΣ modulator. The gain of the differential amplifier is set by internal precision resistors with a differential input
impedance of RIND. The modulator converts the analog signal into a bitstream that is transferred across the
isolation barrier, as described in the Data Isolation Channel Signal Transmission section.
There are two restrictions on the analog input signals (INP and INN). First, if the input voltages VINP or VINN
exceed the range specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table, the input current must be limited to the
absolute maximum value, because the device input electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes turns on. In addition,
the linearity and parametric performance of the device are ensured only when the analog input voltage remains
within linear full-scale range (VFSR) and within the common-mode input voltage range (VCM) as specified in the
Recommended Operating Conditions table.

7.3.2 Data Isolation Channel Signal Transmission
The AMC3301 uses an on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme, as shown in Figure 7-1, to transmit the
modulator output bitstream across the capacitive SiO2-based isolation barrier. The transmit driver (TX) shown
in the Functional Block Diagram transmits an internally generated, high-frequency carrier across the isolation
barrier to represent a digital one and does not send a signal to represent a digital zero. The nominal frequency of
the carrier used inside the AMC3301 is 480 MHz.
The receiver (RX) on the other side of the isolation barrier recovers and demodulates the signal and produces
the output. The AMC3301 transmission channel is optimized to achieve the highest level of common-mode
transient immunity (CMTI) and lowest level of radiated emissions caused by the high-frequency carrier and
RX/TX buffer switching.

7.3.3 Analog Output
The AMC3301 offers a differential analog output comprised of the OUTP and OUTN pins. For differential input
voltages (VINP – VINN) in the range from –250 mV to +250 mV, the device provides a linear response with a
nominal gain of 8.2. For example, for a differential input voltage of 250 mV, the differential output voltage (VOUTP
– VOUTN) is 2.05 V. At zero input (INP shorted to INN), both pins output the same common-mode output voltage
VCMout, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. For absolute differential input voltages greater than
250 mV but less than 320 mV, the differential output voltage continues to increase in magnitude but with reduced
linearity performance. The outputs saturate at a differential output voltage of VCLIPout as shown in Figure 7-2 if
the differential input voltage exceeds the VClipping value.

Figure 7-2. Output Behavior of the AMC3301
The AMC3301 provides a fail-safe output that simplifies diagnostics on system level. Figure 7-2 shows the
fail-safe mode, in which the AMC3301 outputs a negative differential output voltage that does not occur under
normal operating conditions. The fail-safe output is active in two cases:
• The low-side does not receive data from the high-side (for example, because of a loss of power on the high
side).
• The high-side DC/DC output voltage (DCDC_OUT) or the high-side LDO output voltage (HLDO_OUT) drop
below their respective undervoltage detection thresholds (brown-out).
Use the maximum VFAILSAFE voltage specified in the Electrical Characteristics table as a reference value for the
fail-safe detection on the system level.

7.3.4 Isolated DC/DC Converter
The AMC3301 offers a fully integrated isolated DC/DC converter that includes the following components as
illustrated in the Functional Block Diagram:
• Low-dropout regulator (LDO) on the low-side to stabilize the supply voltage VDD that drives the low-side of
the converter. This circuit does not output a constant voltage and is not intended for driving any external load.
• Low-side full-bridge inverter and drivers
• Laminate-based, air-core transformer for high-immunity to magnetic fields
• High-side full-bridge rectifier
• High-side LDO to stabilize the output voltage of the DC/DC converter for high analog performance of the
signal path. The high-side LDO outputs a constant voltage and can provide a limited amount of current to
power external circuitry.
The DC/DC converter uses a spread-spectrum clock generation technique to reduce the spectral density of
the electromagnetic radiation. The resonator frequency is synchronized to the operation of the ΔΣ modulator to
minimize the interference with data transmission and support the high analog performance of the device.
The architecture of the DC/DC converter is optimized to drive the high-side circuitry of the AMC3301 and can
source up to IH of additional DC current for an optional auxiliary circuit such as an active filter, preamplifier, or
comparator. IH is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table as a DC, non-switching current.
7.3.5 Diagnostic Output
The open-drain DIAG pin can be monitored to confirm the device is operational and the output voltage is valid.
As shown in Figure 7-3, during power-up, the DIAG pin is actively held low until the high-side supply is in
regulation and the device operates properly. During normal operation, the DIAG pin is in high-impedance (Hi-Z)
state and is pulled high through an external pullup resistor. The DIAG pin is actively pulled low if:
•
•
The low-side does not receive data from the high-side (for example, because of a loss of power on the high
side). In this case, the amplifier outputs are driven to the VFAILSAFE value that is shown in Figure 7-2.
The high-side DC/DC output voltage (DCDC_OUT) or the high-side LDO output voltage (HLDO_OUT) drop
below their respective undervoltage detection thresholds (brown-out). In this case, the low-side may still
receive data from the high-side but the data may not be valid. The amplifier outputs are driven to the
VFAILSAFE value that is shown in Figure 7-2.

8 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and
TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining
suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The low input voltage range, low nonlinearity, and low temperature drift make the AMC3301 a high-performance
solution for industrial applications where shunt-based current sensing with high common-mode voltage levels is
required.
8.2 Typical Application
The AMC3301 is ideally suited for shunt-based current sensing applications where accurate current monitoring is
required in the presence of high common-mode voltages. The AMC3301 integrates an isolated power supply for
the high-voltage side and therefore makes the device particularly easy to use in applications that do not have a
high-side supply readily available or where a high-side supply is referenced to a different ground potential than
the signal to be measured.
Figure 8-1 shows a simplified schematic of the AMC3301 in a solar inverter where the phase current is
measured on the grid-side of an LCL filter. Although the system offers a supply for the high-side gate driver,
there is a large common-mode voltage between the gate driver supply ground reference and the shunt resistor
on the other side of the LCL filter. Therefore, the gate driver supply is not suitable for powering the high-side
of an isolated amplifier that measures the voltage across the shunt. The integrated isolated power supply of the
AMC3301 solves that problem and enables current sensing at locations that is optimal for the system.
The diagram also shows the AMC3330 being used for sensing the AC output voltage.

Voltage drop across the shunt for a linear response (VSHUNT)
±250 mV (maximum)
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The AMC3301 requires a single 3.3-V or 5-V supply on its low-side. The high-side supply is internally generated
by an integrated DC/DC converter as explained in the Isolated DC/DC Converter section.
The ground reference (HGND) is derived from the terminal of the shunt resistor that is connected to the negative
input of the AMC3301 (INN). If a four-pin shunt is used, the inputs of the AMC3301 are connected to the inner
leads and HGND is connected to one of the outer shunt leads. To minimize offset and improve accuracy, set the
ground connection to a separate trace that connects directly to the shunt resistor rather than shorting HGND to
INN directly at the input to the device. See the Layout section for more details.
8.2.2.1 Shunt Resistor Sizing
Use Ohm's Law to calculate the voltage drop across the shunt resistor (VSHUNT) for the desired measured
current: VSHUNT = I × RSHUNT .
Consider the following two restrictions to choose the proper value of the shunt resistor, RSHUNT:
•
•
The voltage drop caused by the nominal current range must not exceed the recommended differential input
voltage range: |VSHUNT| ≤ |VFSR|
The voltage drop caused by the maximum allowed overcurrent must not exceed the input voltage that causes
a clipping output: |VSHUNT| ≤ |VClipping|
8.2.2.2 Input Filter Design
TI recommends placing an RC filter in front of the isolated amplifier to improve signal-to-noise performance of
the signal path. Design the input filter such that:
•
•
•
The cutoff frequency of the filter is at least one order of magnitude lower than the sampling frequency
(20 MHz) of the ΔΣ modulator
The input bias current does not generate significant voltage drop across the DC impedance of the input filter
The impedances measured from the analog inputs are equal
For most applications, the structure shown in Figure 8-2 achieves excellent performance.

8.2.2.3 Differential to Single-Ended Output Conversion
Figure 8-3 shows an example of a TLV6001 based signal conversion and filter circuit for systems using singleended-input ADCs to convert the analog output voltage into digital. With R1 = R2 = R3 = R4, the output voltage
equals (VOUTP – VOUTN) + VREF. Tailor the bandwidth of this filter stage to the bandwidth requirement of the
system. For most applications, R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = 3.3 kΩ and C1 = C2 = 330 pF yields good performance.

8.2.3 Application Curve
In frequency inverter applications, the power switches must be protected in case of an overcurrent condition.
To allow for fast powering off of the system, a low delay caused by the isolated amplifier is required. Figure
8-4 shows the typical full-scale step response of the AMC3301. Consider the delay of the required window
comparator and the MCU to calculate the overall response time of the system.

8.2.4 What To Do and What Not To Do
Do not leave the analog inputs INP and INN of the AMC3301 unconnected (floating) when the device is powered
up. If the device inputs are left floating, the input bias current may drive the inputs to a positive value that
exceeds the operating common-mode input voltage and the output of the device is undetermined.
Connect the negative input (INN) to the high-side ground (HGND), either by a hard short or through a resistive
path. A DC current path between INN and HGND is required to define the input common-mode voltage. Take
care not to exceed the input common-mode range as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
For best accuracy, route the ground connection as a separate trace that connects directly to the shunt resistor
rather than shorting AGND to INN directly at the input to the device. See the Layout section for more details.
The high-side LDO can source a limited amount of current (IH) to power external circuitry. Take care not to
overload the high-side LDO.
The low-side LDO does not output a constant voltage and is not intended for powering any external circuitry. Do
not connect any external load to the HLDO_OUT pin.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The AMC3301 is powered from the low-side power supply (VDD) with a nominal value of 3.3 V or 5 V. TI
recommends a low-ESR decoupling capacitor of 1 nF (C8 in Figure 9-1) placed as close as possible to the VDD
pin, followed by a 1-µF capacitor (C9) to filter this power-supply path.
The low-side of the DC/DC converter is decoupled with a low-ESR 100-nF capacitor (C4) positioned close to
the device between the DCDC_IN and DCDC_GND pins. Use a 1-µF capacitor (C2) to decouple the high side
in addition to a low-ESR, 1-nF capacitor (C3) placed as close as possible to the device and connected to the
DCDC_OUT and DCDC_HGND pins.
For the high-side LDO, use low-ESR capacitors of 1-nF (C6), placed as close as possible to the AMC3301,
followed by a 100-nF decoupling capacitor (C5).
The ground reference for the high-side (HGND) is derived from the terminal of the shunt resistor which is
connected to the negative input (INN) of the device. For best DC accuracy, use a separate trace to make this
connection instead of shorting HGND to INN directly at the device input. The high-side DC/DC ground terminal
(DCDC_HGND) is shorted to HGND directly at the device pins.

Figure 9-1. Decoupling the AMC3301
Capacitors must provide adequate effective capacitance under the applicable DC bias conditions they
experience in the application. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) typically exhibit only a fraction of their
nominal capacitance under real-world conditions and this factor must be taken into consideration when selecting
these capacitors. This problem is especially acute in low-profile capacitors, in which the dielectric field strength is
higher than in taller components. Reputable capacitor manufacturers provide capacitance versus DC bias curves
that greatly simplify component selection.
Table 9-1 lists components suitable for use with the AMC3301. This list is not exhaustive. Other components
may exist that are equally suitable (or better), however these listed components have been validated during the
development of the AMC3301.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 10-1 shows a layout recommendation with the critical placement of the decoupling capacitors. The same
component reference designators are used as in the Power Supply Recommendations section. Decoupling
capacitors are placed as close as possible to the AMC3301 supply pins. For best performance, place the shunt
resistor close to the INP and INN inputs of the AMC3301 and keep the layout of both connections symmetrical.
To avoid causing errors in the measurement by the input bias currents of the AMC3301, connect the high-side
ground pin (HGND) to the INN-side of the shunt resistor. Use a separate trace in the layout to make this
connection to maintain equal currents in the INN and INP traces.
