AM422-1 is a compact voltage-to-current converter IC for 3-wire operation with integrated protection functions and voltage source. It converts a single-ended input voltage into a current output signal with adjustable offset and gain. The IC is especially suitable for price sensitive industrial applications with single-ended input signals.
AM422-2 is a voltage-to-current converter IC with integrated protection functions especially suitable for industrial sensing and signal-conditioning in current-loop applications. It converts a single-ended input voltage into a current output signal (e.g. 4 .. 20 mA) with adjustable offset and full-scale current.
