Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic signal processing, and in particular to a fully isolated signal conditioner. Background Art
[0002] A signal conditioner is an electronic device used to process and condition the raw signal output from a sensor or device. Its primary purpose is to convert the signal into a standardized form suitable for subsequent processing, transmission, or recording. It is widely used in industrial automation, test and measurement, medical equipment, and other fields, and is a key component in data acquisition and control systems. Traditional signal isolation conditioners often use closed-loop power control technology. While highly stable, this technology is rigid and expensive, requiring complex feedback circuits and precision components. This leads to high costs and inflexible adaptation to single, dual, or mixed signal channels. Existing multi-channel products use a single transformer integrating multiple windings, resulting in severe electromagnetic coupling between channels. Test data shows that when the input signal frequency is 1kHz, the crosstalk suppression rate between adjacent channels is only 28dB, which cannot meet the requirements of precision industrial scenarios. Conditioners that rely on analog circuits for signal conversion struggle to support digital configuration, and switching between signal types requires hardware modifications, similarly limiting flexibility.
