Multichannel Data Acquisition Front-End MULTICHANNEL DATA ACQUISITION FRONT-END Illustrated in Figure 22 is a four-channel data acquisition front- AD580 reference circuit provides an equal but opposite current, end used to condition and isolate several common input signals resulting in a zero net current flow, producing a 0 V output from found in various process applications. In this application, each the AD210. At +100°C (+212°F), the AD590 current output will AD210 will provide complete isolation from input to output as be 373.2 µA minus the 255.4 µA offsetting current from the well as channel to channel. By using an isolator per channel, AD580 circuit to yield a +117.8 µA input current. This current is maximum protection and rejection of unwanted signals is converted to a voltage via RF and RG to produce an output of obtained. The three-port design allows the AD210 to be +2.12 V. Channel 2 will produce an output of +10 mV/°F over a configured as an input or output isolator.

The AD584 produces a +10 V PRINTED IN U.S.A. The signal is offset by –100 mV via RO to produce a 0 mV to excitation voltage, while A1 inverts the voltage, producing negative +400 mV input. This signal is amplified by a gain of 25 to produce excitation. A2 provides a gain of 1000 V/V to amplify the low level the desired 0 V to +10 V output. With an open circuit, the AD210 bridge signal.
