GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AM422 is a low cost monolithic voltage– to–current converter specially designed for analog signal transmission. The AM422 is available in a 3– or 2–wire version, which allows applications with flexible input voltage ranges to be used for a standard output current. Output current range and current offset level are freely adjustable by external resistors.
