The TMUX4821 has low R
on,
∆R
on, and R
drift which allows this to be implemented in the
AOM and AIM systems of the PLC, while maintaining precision voltage signaling and
reducing the size of the PLC. The low R
on helps to minimally affect the total
resistance of the burden resistor line. Additionally, it can switch between the current
and voltage modes of the PLC, removing the requirement for two PADCs to be implemented
in the system for each mode. This greatly reduces the footprint of the PLC, while
maintaining accurate readings from the sensors monitored by the PLC.
