GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Models 2B54 and 2B55 are low cost, high performance, four-channel
signal conditioners. Both models are functionally complete, providing
input protection, isolation and common mode rejection, multiplexing,
filtering and amplification.
The 2B54 has been designed to condition low level signals (±5mV to
±100mV), like those generated by thermocouples or strain gages, in the
presence of high common mode voltages. The 2B55 is optimized to
condition ±50mV to ±5V or 4 to 20mA transmitter signals as inputs.
The four-channel structure of both models results in significant cost
and size reduction.
The high performance of the 2B54 and 2B55 is accomplished by the
use of reliable transformer isolation techniques and an amplifier-per-
channel architecture. Each of the input channels is galvanically isolated
(±1000V dc) from the other input channels and from output ground.
The amplifier-per-channel structure is used to obtain low input drift
(±1 V/ C max, 2B54B), high common mode rejection (156dB @
60Hz), and very stable gain (±25ppm/ C max). Other key features
include low input noise (1 V p-p), low nonlinearity (±0.02% max) and
open-thermocouple detection (2B54).
APPLICATIONS
Models 2B54 and 2B55 were designed to serve as a superior
alternative to the relay multiplexing circuits used in multi-channel data
acquisition systems, computer interface systems, process signal
isolators, and temperature measurement and control instrumentation.
Advantages over relay circuits include functional versatility, superior
performance, and solid state reliability. Both models are also pin
compatible with the 2B34, four-channel RTD/strain gage conditioner.
In thermocouple temperature measurement applications, outstanding
low drift, high noise rejection, high throughput and 1000V isolation
make the 2B54 a natural choice over flying capacitor multiplexers
in conditioning any thermocouple type.

When cold junction compensation is required in measurement of
temperature with thermocouples, the 2B54 may be used directly
with the model 2B56 Universal Cold junction Compensator.
DESIGN FEATURES AND USER BENEFITS
High Reliability: To assure high reliability and provide isolation
protection to electronic instrumentation, reliable transformer
isolation and solid state switching are used. Both models have been
conservatively designed to meet the IEEE standard for Transient
Voltage Protection (472-19 74: SWC) and offer 130V rms normal
mode input protection.
High Noise Rejection: To preserve high system accuracy in
electrically noisy industrial environments, the 2B54 and 2B55
provide excellent common mode noise rejection, RFI/EMI
immunity, and low pass filtering for rejection of series mode noise
and 50Hz/60Hz pickup.
Ease of Use: The multichannel, functionally complete design in a
compact (2" X 4" X 0.4") module, assures case of use, conserves
board space and eliminates the need for a number of discrete
components necessary in relay multiplexing circuits.
Low Cost: The 2B54 and 2B55 offer the lowest cost per channel
for isolated. solid state. low level signal conditioners.
