GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Model 289 is a wide-band, accurate, low cost isolation amplifier
designed for instrumentation and industrial applications. Three
accuracy selections are available offering guaranteed gain nonlinearity
error at 10V p-p output: 鹵0.012% max (289L), 鹵0.025% max (289K),
鹵0.05% max (289J). All versions of the 289 provide a small signal
frequency response from dc to 20kHz (-3dB) and a large signal
response from dc to 5kHz (full power) at a gain of 1V/V. This new
design offers true 3-port isolation, 鹵2500V dc between inputs and
outputs (or power inputs), as well as 240V rms between power supply
inputs and signal outputs. Using carrier modulation techniques with
transformer isolation, model 289 interrupts ground loops and leakage
paths and minimizes the effect of high voltage transients. It provides
120dB Common Mode Rejection between input and output common.
The high CMV and CMR ratings of the model 289 facilitate accurate
measurements in the presence of noisy electrical equipment such as
motors and relays.
WHERE TO USE THE MODEL 289
The model 289 is designed to interface single and multichannel data
acquisition systems with dc sensors such as thermocouples, strain
gauges and other low level signals in harsh industrial environments.
Providing high accuracy with complete galvanic isolation, and
protection from line transients of fault voltages, model 289's
performance is suitable for applications such as process controllers,
current loop receivers, weighing systems, high CMV instrumentation
and computer interface systems.
Use the model 289 when data must be acquired from floating
transducers in computerized process control systems. The photograph
above shows a typical multichannel application allowing potential
differences or interrupting ground loops, among transducers, or
between transducers and local ground.
DESIGN FEATURES AND USER BENEFITS
Isolated Power:
The floating power supply section provides isolated
鹵15V outputs @ 鹵5mA. Isolated power is regulated to within
鹵5%.
This
feature permits model 289 to excite floating signal conditioners, front-
end buffer amplifiers and remote transducers such as thermistors or
bridges, eliminating the need for a separate isolated dc/dc converter.
Adjustable Gain:
A single external resistor adjusts the model 289鈥檚
gain from 1V/V to 100V/V for applications in high and low level
transducer interfacing.
Synchronized:
The model 289 provides a synchronization terminal for
use in multichannel applications. Connecting the synchronization
terminals of model 289s synchronizes their internal oscillators, thereby
eliminating the problem of oscillator "beat frequency" interference that
sometimes occurs when isolation amplifiers are closely mounted.
Internal Voltage Regulator:
Improves power supply rejection and
helps prevent carrier oscillator spikes from being broadcast via the
isolator power terminal to the rest of the system.
Buffered Output:
Prevents gain errors when an isolation amplifier is
followed by a resistive load of low impedance. Model 289 can drive a
2k鈩?load.
Three-Port Isolation:
Provides true galvanic isolation between input,
output and power supply ports. Eliminates need for power supply and
output ports being returned through a common terminal.
Reliability:
Model 289 is conservatively designed to be capable of
reliable operation in harsh environments. Model 289 has a calculated
MTBF of 271,835 hours. In addition, the model 289 meets UL Std. 544
leakage, 2碌A(chǔ) rms @ 115V ac, 60Hz.
