Working Principle of the SI8518-C-ISR

The core of the SI8518-C-ISR is a digital control loop that is based on an embedded system-on-chip (SoC). This SoC contains all the components necessary to support the digital control loop including the analog input stage, UART, I/O ports, and a power supply. The DC current is measured through an on-chip shunt resistor that is connected directly to the device’s input terminals. The AC current is measured through an on-chip current transformer that works by transforming the AC current into a DC voltage which is then fed to the SoC’s voltage inputs.

The SoC then measures the voltage and converts it into a digital signal that can be used by the control loop to measure the current. The control loop uses a feedback system that uses the error between the actual current and the set point to drive the output pin to its correct value. This system is highly accurate and precise, allowing the device to be used for precise measurements.

The SI8518-C-ISR is designed for use with 12VDC power sources, and all of its outputs are able to handle up to 5A. This makes the unit suitable for a variety of applications, including motor control, power conversions, and industrial automation. Its real-time output data can be used for monitoring and controlling of loads, as well as for energy-saving projects.

Conclusion

The SI8518-C-ISR is a highly versatile current transducer that can be used in a wide range of applications. It is characterized by its small size, efficient power consumption, and compatibility with a variety of analog and digital signal types. The SoC-based digital control loop is extremely accurate and precise, allowing for very accurate current measurements. All of these characteristics make the SI8518-C-ISR an excellent choice for a variety of projects.
