- This functional block I/Op rot ection is adapted to function as protection against overcurrents .
- the fed-in current signal is forwarded to a shunt resistor Rshunt, across which a voltage with an absolute value smaller than the value Ua is generated.
- the generated voltage signal across the shunt resistor Rshunt is fed to a differential amplifier DIFFAMP, which may be located in the second integrated circuit IC2 or the first integrated circuit ICl.
- the output signal from the differential amplifier is then forwarded to a analog-to-digital convertor AD in the first integrated circuit ICl.
- the shunt resistor Rshunt is suitably integrated in the second integrated circuit IC2 or, alternatively, in the first integrated circuit ICl. As men ⁇ tioned, protection against overcurrents must be provided.

- Figure 9 illustrates a more detailed circuit diagram of the configuration and function of an AI/AO unit according to the description of the embodiment. It is of importance that as many functions as possible are integrated in one and the same electronic chip, but there is nothing preventing cer ⁇ tain parts, for example one or more of the discrete compo- nents for any function, from being positioned outside the chip.
- the voltage amplifier VA and the voltage/current convertor VCC are supplied with power by means of an external voltage source Vext via a connection for an external voltage source VDD.
- This connection VDD is to be disconnected when or if the voltage at this connection VDD exceeds a proposed value 32 V. This can be achieved in the following ways:
- the voltage divider Rd3, Rd4 is used to sense the VDD voltage and delivers the signal VDD-V which is related to the VDD voltage.
- a second protective circuit VDDp disconnects the connection for the external voltage source VDD if the input signal VDD-OFF is activated.
- the second protective circuit VDDp ro t withstands an alter ⁇ nating voltage of at least 250 V at the connection for the external voltage source VDD.
- This second protective circuit VDDp r o t a Y b e realized in a plurality of ways.
- Figure 10 shows an embodiment of this circuit.
- An external voltage is applied to the connection VDD, is brought over the diode Dl to a MOSFET transistor Ml to the output VDD-INT, which supplies the above-mentioned circuits with their require ⁇ ments of external voltage.
- the signal VDD-V which is taken out from the voltage divider Rd3, Rd4 is used, as mentioned, for sensing the supplied voltage at the output VDD of the AI/AO unit.
- a second MOSFET transistor M2 switches off the first MOSFET transistor Ml when the above-mentioned signal VDD-OFF is activated, the signal being supplied to the gate of the second MOSFET transistor M2 thus closing or opening this .
- a voltage convertor VC converts the voltage obtained from the second protective circuit VDDp rot to the necessary vol ⁇ tages before these are forwarded to the circuits which are supplied with power from the external voltage source.
- the voltage amplifier block VA consists of an operational amplifier.
- the voltage V ⁇ /_ a the output of the AI/AO unit is fed back for the purpose of supervision via the voltage divider
- the electronic switch SI and the protective circuit I/Opro t ection are included in the feedback loop which extends from the output of the voltage amplifier Va and back to the input thereof.
- a voltage supervision block OVS controls analog output values .

- the block OVS is supplied with power by means of the external voltage source Vext via the VDD terminal.
- the protective circuit I/Op ro tection has an internal confi ⁇ guration as shown in Figure 11. This circuit is to dis- ' connect the I/O terminal when the output voltage from a multiplexor MUX located in the first integrated circuit ICl exceeds V ⁇ +. This can be achieved with the following preferred configuration
- the protective circuit I/Op rote c t ion disconnects the I/O connection when the input I/O-OFF is activated.
- the protective circuit I/Op rot ec t ion withstands at least 250 V alternating current through a suitable selection of components.
- the circuit is internally supplied with power.
- the protective circuit I/Op rotect ion includes, as shown in Figure 11, two MOSFET transistors M3 and M .
- MOSFET M4 carries current in a direction from the terminal I/O to the terminal I/O-INT, whereas MOSFET M3 carries current in the opposite direction. This is due to the fact that the protec ⁇ tion against overload must be bidirectional, since both positive and negative currents occur in the analog current input mode.
- the diodes D4 and D5 block voltages which the
- MOSFET transistors M3, M4 due to their unipolar design, are unable to block.
- the protective circuit I/Op rot ec t ion is switched on, that is, has a low impedance, the signal I/O- OFF is active and therefore the switches Tl and T2 have a high impedance.
- the control voltage on transistor M3 assumes the value -Vicl, which in turn causes the transistor M3 to conduct.
- the control voltage on transistor M4 assumes the value +Vicl, which also causes the transistor M4 to conduct.
- the protective devices is activated and a high impedance imparted thereto because the signal I/O-OFF is activated.
- the switches Tl and T2 become conducting and thereby set the control voltages for the MOSFET transistors M3 and M4 at 0 volt.
- This causes a high impedance to be imparted to these transistors M3, M4, the transistors thus blocking the terminal I/O.
- the diodes D6-D11 constitute protection against transients in the circuit.
- a voltage convertor ICIV converts a voltate +V obtained from the first integrated circuit ICl to voltages +Vicl, -Vicl for internal supply of circuits in the AI/AO unit.
- a mode control unit MC delivers different output signals, AO-V and AO-C, respectively, when the unit is functioning as AO unit for voltage signals and as AO unit for current signals, respectively, as well as AI-V1, A1V10 and AI-C for function modes a, b and c, respectively.
- the output signals mentioned are supplied to a multiplexor MUX for selection of analog input VIN-V1, VIN-V2 or a voltage input from the differential amplifier DIFFAMP, a voltage which is proportional to the current value supplied to the AI unit .
