WIDE-BANDWIDTH
SIGNAL CONDITIONER MODULES
The
8B50/51 20-kHz filter bandwidth analog voltage
input modules are the latest addition to the SensorLex
8B family of isolated analog signal conditioners. In
addition to wide bandwidth, the modules also provide
high ratings of ±0.10% accuracy and ±0.05% linearity.

Measuring
only 1.11² × 1.65²
× 0.4², the 8B signal conditioner
is 80% smaller than similar products, making it ideal
for embedded and portable applications such as mobile
test stands, COTS military and defense applications,
miniaturized security and surveillance systems, and
embedded process controls for semiconductor manufacturing
equipment. With the SensorLex 8B, it’s possible to incorporate
high-performance modular I/O on a per-channel basis
for any embedded monitoring or measurement and control
system. Because the 8B provides an instrument class
analog output, interfacing to almost any data acquisition
system board is easy.
The
8B50/51 voltage input modules accept millivolt- and
volt-level signals. They achieve signal filtering with
a five-pole filter that is optimized for time and frequency
response and provides 100 dB per decade of normal mode
rejection above 20 kHz. One pole of the filter is on
the field side of the isolation barrier for antialiasing.
The other four are on the system side. Common-mode rejection
is 100 dB. These modules feature a special input circuit
that provides protection against accidental connection
of power-line voltages up to 240 VAC continuous. They
gave clamp circuits on the I/O and power terminals protect
against harmful transients.
Prices
for 8B modules start at $89.
