Description

The Broadcom ACPL-C740 isolated sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator converts an analog input signal into a high-speed (20 MHz 
typical) single-bit data stream by means of a sigma-delta over-sampling modulator. The time average of the modulator data 
is directly proportional to the input signal voltage. The modulator uses an internal speed of 20 MHz. The modulator data are 
encoded and transmitted across the isolation boundary where they are recovered and decoded into a high-speed data 
stream of digital ones and zeros. The original signal information is represented by the density of ones in the data output.

The input signal information is contained in the modulator output data stream, represented by the density of ones and zeros. 
The density of ones is proportional to the input signal voltage, as shown in 

Figure 1

A differential input signal of 0V ideally 

produces a data stream of ones 50% of the time and zeros 50% of the time. A differential input of –200 mV corresponds to 
an 18.75% density of ones, and a differential input of +200 mV is represented by an 81.25% density of ones in the data 
stream. A differential input of +320 mV or higher results in ideally all ones in the data stream, while an input of –320 mV or 
lower results in all zeros, ideally

Table 1

 shows this relationship.
