ABSTRACT:
A current monitor includes a DC isolating amplifier circuit especially adapted for adjusting the set point of a comparator. The isolating amplifier circuit includes an operational amplifier generating a first current in response to an input voltage received by the operational amplifier. The first current is transmitted to a first optocoupler and a second optocoupler which are characterized by a first CTR and a second CTR, respectively. An output of the first optocoupler is fed back to an input of the operational amplifier while an output voltage of the second optocoupler is communicated to a set point circuit. The output voltage of the second optocoupler varies as a function of the product of the input voltage of the operational amplifier and a ratio between the first CTR and the second CTR.
