Project Description
The Broadcom® ACPL-C87B/C87A/C870 voltage sensors are optical isolation amplifiers designed specifically for voltage sensing. Its 2V input range and high 1-GΩ input impedance, makes it well suited for isolated voltage sensing requirements in electronic power converters applications, including motor drives and renewable energy systems. In a typical voltage sensing implementation, a resistive voltage divider is used to scale the DC-link voltage to suit the input
range of the voltage sensor. A differential output voltage that is proportional to the input voltage is created on the other side of the optical isolation barrier.
