AM461
DESCRIPTION
The AM461 is a universal useable amplifier and
protection IC with a multitude of additional func-
tions. The IC contains of an externally adjustable
operational amplifier for conditioning of single
ended input signals. This amplifier has an inte-
grated output driver stage with the ability to source
up to 5mA without the need of any external tran-
sistor. In addition, a voltage reference for the supply
of external components and another operational
amplifier that can be used as current/voltage source
or comparator is integrated.
Basic features of the IC are the wide range inte-
grated of protection functions. The IC is protected
against reverse polarity and has a build-in output
current limitation. Using the amplifier IC AM461 it
is possible to generate stable standard voltages ranges
(e.g. 0-5/10V) in an easy and low-cost way.
