#178242 - requirement details Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Oliver, Michael, Erik yes i want to isolate the MCU circuit from the 4-20 mA circuit. Actually i am making a liquid conductivity Indicator cum Controller cum Transmitter[4-20mA]. The sensors will measure the conductivity and temperature of the liquid and the instrument will indicate, give relay outputs and 4-20mA in proportion to the reading. Hence the traditional loop powering is not possible in this application. @Kai Klaas: Meanwhile today i enquired about the costing of HCNR201 and IL300; The prices are too high [ Rather using the existing MCU->Frequency->voltage->current system will be cheaper than that :)) ]. PWM or external DAC seems to be a most suitable ways. My silabs MCU has 8bit PWM [ i think atleast 10 bit resolution is required to express the conductivity range of 0 to 2000mS/cm ? ]. Will anybody suggest a a good DAC of 10+bit OR a silabs MCU having 10 /10+ bit PWM [] ? Thanks |
