Description
iC-HF is a robust line driver for industrial 5 V control applications featuring six differential output channels. Single-ended, TTL-compatible input signals are transmitted as differential, 5 V RS-422 output signals at a rate up to 10 MHz. The push-pull driver stages typically provide 40 mA, present low saturation voltage, are current limited for reduced EMI emissions, and short-circuit-proof. iC-HF is protected against reverse polarity connection, disabling internal supply voltage and setting output channels to high impedance when reverse polarity connection is detected. It offers a power-good switch, delivering up to 60 mA, that allows extended reverse polarity protection for connected sensors. iC-HF supports Encoder Link. In this configuration input signals are directly linked to output pins. Analog signals from sensors can be accessed directly at output pins from iC-HF, allowing sensor calibration and alignment. Up to 9 channels can be configured as Encoder Link.
