dspic33ck power isolated voltage acquisition board
1.0.1
Isolated Voltage Acquisition Board.
The Isolated Voltage Acquisition Board can be used for isolated sensing of up to three voltages. Three op amps, a small dsPIC33C and three opto-couplers are used to scale, digitize and transmit the sensed voltages across the isolation barrier.
The board was originally developed as a Plug-In Board (PIM) for our dsPIC33C 11kW Totem Pole Demonstration Application. In this case, it is used to sense the three-phase AC line voltages with reference to neutral, and send this information to the main PFC controller, which sits on the output voltage ground. It is preprogrammed for this function but can be easily adapted for other functions by changing the firmware on the dsPIC33C.
In this document we describe the pre-programmed firmware.

The operation of the firmware is quite straightforward.
See below.
On a low to high transition on pin 3 of J4, an interrupt is triggered. In the interrupt, the 3 input voltages (relative to N) are measured with the 12-bit ADC on the dsPIC33CK. A checksum is computed, and the data is sent across the isolaton barrier via SPI using 2 optocouplers.
