isolated current loop receiver
probably you already know siemens application note regaring IL300 linear opto-isolator, I implemented same circuit (same amplifiers, TIL300 optocoupler , IL300 from another manufacturer, same FET) but my circuit is not linear as described in the app. note.
I suppose the only difference is they fed opamps with +/-9V DC, but I applied 12V DC.
I measure input current with a Fluke multimeter and I am using an oscilloscope to measure DC output of isolated part.
For input, I used a simple potentiometer and voltage source.
Here are some measurements :
input current - output voltage
20 mA - 11.4V
5 mA - 4.52V
As you can see it is not linear. I am not good in analog, actually I am firmware guy
here is the app. note:
hxxp://crio.mib.infn.it/wig/electronics/Componenti/Siemens%20e%20Infinenon/Accoppiatori%20Ottici/IL300%20per%20industria.pdf
There is a pot. for calibration:
"" The receiver was calibrated by adjusting
R6 for 3.00 V output with a loop current of 12.00 mA at
TA=23°C""
I suppose it is only about DC offset and should not affect linearty? Am I right?
Regards
