TIDA-00661, High Resolution, Fast Startup Analog Front End for Air Circuit Breaker Reference Design

TIDA-00661, High Resolution, Fast Startup Analog Front End for Air Circuit Breaker Reference Design. The TIDA-00661 reference design features signal processing front-end subsystem for electronic trip units (ETU) used in air circuit breakers (ACB) or molded case circuit breakers (MCCB). This subsystem consists of Delta-Sigma ADC with 24-Bit resolution and fast startup (< 3ms), 2.5V regulator, FRAM-based microcontroller (MCU) for interfacing to ADC and processing the inputs. The subsystem is designed to start-up, compute full-cycle RMS current, make decisions, and provide trip signal to the solenoid within 30 ms
