The AMC1211-Q1 is a precision, single-ended input, isolated amplifier with a high input impedance and wide input voltage range. The input stage of the device drives a second-order, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator. The modulator converts the analog input signal into a digital bitstream that is transferred across the isolation barrier and separates the high-side from the low-side. On the low-side, the received bitstream is processed by a fourth-order analog filter that outputs a differential signal at the OUTP and OUTN pins proportional to the input signal.

The SiO₂-based, capacitive isolation barrier supports a high level of magnetic field immunity, as described in the ISO72x Digital Isolator Magnetic-Field Immunity application note. The digital modulation used in the AMC1211-Q1 to transmit data across the isolation barrier, and the isolation barrier characteristics, result in high reliability and high common-mode transient immunity.
