ISO255 Isolation amplifier IC circuit and iso255 pinout

ISO255 is isolation amplifier by Burr-Brown with some unique features enlisted below.

• ISO255 have dedicated power port isolated from both input and output sides
• ISO255 have built-in isolated DC-DC converter for input circuit and output circuit
• ISO255 have syc feature to synchronize modulation frequencies of all ISO255 IC’s in circuit.
• Gain can be adjusted by applying an external resistor between +Rg and -Rg pins.
• input/output Signal Common pins are separate from power GND pins. May be combined externally.
• Input is double line +Vin and -Vin.

Here is ISO255 example circuit which feeding a resistance bridge circuit output voltage for further measurement with being isolated from next circuitry.

+15V are applied on +Vs3 and GND3 pins. +Vs1,-Vs1 and +Vs2, -Vs2 are outputs of internal DC/DC converter. And filtered by 220nF capacitors. Output offset is adjusted by 200kΩ trimmer. In this example gain is unity due to +Rg and -Rg pins are open. Gain can be controlled by connecting +Rg and -Rg pins to a resistor. Gain may be calculated by following formula.

G = 1 + 50KΩ / Rg
