NSi1200
High Reliability Reinforced
Isolated Amplifier
Datasheet (EN) 1.0
Product Overview
NSI1200 is a high-performance isolated amplifier with
output separated from input based on the NOVOSENSE
capacitive isolation technology. The device has a linear
differential input signal range of ±250mV (±320mV fullscale). The differential input is ideally suited to shunt
resistor-based current sensing in high voltage applications
where isolation is required.
The device has a fixed gain of 8 and provides a differential
analog output.
The low offset and gain drift ensure the accuracy over the
entire temperature range. High common-mode transient
immunity ensures that the device is able to provide
accurate and reliable measurements even in the presence
of high-power switching such as in motor control
applications.
The fail-safe functions including input common-mode
overvoltage detection and missing VDD1 detection
simplify system-level design and diagnostics.

7. Function Description
7.1. Overview
The NSI1200 is a fully-differential, precision, isolated amplifier. The input stage of the device consists of a fully-differential amplifier
that drives a second-order, sigma-delta (ΣΔ) modulator. The modulator uses the internal voltage reference and clock generator to
convert the analog input signal to a digital bitstream. The drivers (called TX in the Functional Block Diagram) transfer the output of
the modulator across the isolation barrier that separates the side1 and side2 voltage domains. The received bitstream and clock are
synchronized and processed, as shown in the Functional Block Diagram, by a fourth-order analog filter on the side2 and presented as
a differential output of the device.

NSi1200
Datasheet (EN) 1.0
Figure 7.1 Function Block Diagram
7.2. Analog Input
There are two restrictions on the analog input signals (VINP and VINN).
If the input voltage exceeds the range GND1 – 6 V to VDD1 + 0.5 V, the input current must be limited to 10 mA because the
device input electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes turn on.
The linearity and noise performance of the device are ensured only when the analog input voltage remains within the specified
linear full-scale range (FSR) and within the specified common-mode input voltage range.
7.3. Analog Output
For linear input range, the analog output of NSI1200 has a fixed gain of 8. If a full-scale input signal is applied to the NSI1200 (VIN ≥
VClipping), the analog output will be clipped (typically, 2.4V for positive clipping and -2.4V for negative clipping).
In addition, NSI1200 integrates some diagnostic measures and offers a fail-safe output to simplify system-level design. The fail-safe
output is a negative differential output voltage that does not occur under normal device operation, and it will only be activated in
following conditions:
When the undervoltage of VDD1 is detected (VDD1< VDD1UV).
When the overvoltage of common-mode input voltage is detected (VCM>VCMov).

8. Application Note
8.1. Typical Application Circuit
NSI1200 is ideally suited to shunt resistor-based current sensing in high voltage applications such as frequency inverters. The typical
application circuit is shown in Figure 8.1.
The voltage across the shunt resistor Rsense is applied to the differential input of NSI1200 through a RC filter. The differential output
of the isolated amplifier is converted to a single-ended analog output with an operational-amplifier-based circuit. Suggest to
add >1kΩ resistor on the OUTP and OUTN pin to prevent output over-current. An analog-to-digital converter usually receives the
analog output and converts to digital signal for controller processing.
Figure 8.1 Typical application circuit in phase current sensing
8.2. Shunt Resistor Selection
Choosing a particular shunt resistor is usually a compromise between minimizing power dissipation and maximizing accuracy.
Smaller sense resistor decreases power dissipation, while larger sense resistor can improve measure accuracy by utilizing the full
input range of isolated amplifier.
There are two other factors should be considered when selecting the shunt resistor:
The voltage-drop caused by the rated current range must not exceed the recommended linear input voltage range: VSHUNT ≤ FSR.
The voltage-drop caused by the maximum allowed overcurrent must not exceed the input voltage that causes a clipping output:
VSHUNT ≤ VClipping.
8.3. PCB Layout
There are some key guidelines or considerations for optimizing performance in PCB layout:
NSI1200 requires a 0.1µF bypass capacitor between VDD1 and GND1, VDD2 and GND2. The capacitor should be placed as close
as possible to the VDD pin. If better filtering is required, an additional 1~10µF capacitor may be used.
Kelvin rules is recommended for the connection between shunt resistor to NSI1200. Because of the Kelvin connection, any
voltage drops across the trace and leads should have no impact on the measured voltage.
Place the shunt resistor close to the INP and INN inputs and keep the layout of both connections symmetrical and run very
close to each other to the input of the NSI1200. This minimizes the loop area of the connection and reduces the possibility of
stray magnetic fields from interfering with the measured signal.
