1.3
Analog Section
The analog section of the CDB5480U is highly configurable. Onboard signal conditioning options for the
voltage and current channels enable most applications to interface directly to the sensors. The following
two sections define the voltage and current channels configurations.
1.3.1
Voltage Sensor Connection
There are three input signal options for the voltage channel input (VIN±): an external low-voltage signal
(via screw terminals or XLR connections), high-voltage line input, or GND. Table 1 illustrates the options
available.
High Voltage
The CDB5480U evaluation board provides screw-type terminals (J3) or XLR connectors (J30) to connect
the low-voltage input signal to the voltage channel (see Figure 2). The screw terminals are labeled as
VIN+ / VIN-. An R-C network at the channel input provides a simple configurable anti-alias filter. By
installing jumpers on J6 to position VIN+ and J11 to position VIN-, the input voltage signal is supplied from
the screw terminals or XLR connection.
