Overview

This is a reference design of a system that incorporates four pieces of RX23E-A with channel-to-channel isolation and measures temperature and voltage synchronously. This is ideal for applications, such as an analog input module with multiple analog inputs, a temperature controller, a recorder, and data acquisition.

This is a reference design combining high precision analog front-end (AFE) mounted MCUs RX23E-A and RX72M. RX23E-A performs not only A/D conversion but also distributed processing, such as digital filter processing and conversion of physical quantities. This allows high-precision measurement, high-speed response, and 4-channel synchronous measurement, which have not been realized by the existing discrete ADC before. In addition, the processing load of the host MCU RX72M is reduced so that RX72M focuses on processing that can be performed only by the host.

Features

  • High precision AFE-mounted MCU RX23E-A on the edge side.
    • RX23E-A performs distributed processing, such as digital filter processing and conversion of physical quantities
    • Distributed processing can reduce the load on the host MCU.
  • 4ch with channel-to-channel isolation enables measurement of temperature and voltage.
    • Enable 4ch synchronous measurement within 1msec
    • Measurement result acquisition cycle 10msec
    • High-speed response, step response 70msec
  • Adopt 3-wire serial communication for communication with the host MCU RX72M.
    • Enable reduction in the number of isolators compared to 4-wire SPI communication using chip select.
  • Isolated power supply is configured with a synchronous buck regulator ISL85410.
    • Using an isolation transformer with 1 input and 2 outputs can realize 2ch of isolated power supply.
  • Isolated communication using RV1S9260A photocouplers for SCK and MOSI, and a PS9124 open-collector photocoupler for MISO
  • Circuit diagram is included in the application note
  • BOM is included in the application note
  • Gerber file
  • Includes an RX23E-A sample program
  • Includes an RX72M sample program
