Basic FAQ for FFT Analyzer
Question number FAQ-0760
What is CCLD?
CCLD refers to a sensor interface using constant current drive (C onstant C urrent Line Dive) method.
By supplying a constant current power supply for Accelerometer with built-in preamps or microphone preamps, it can be directly connected to inputs such as FFT analyzers without going through an external amplifier. Typically, it is a constant current power supply of about 2 ~ 4 mA.
The main advantages include: [1] no need for an external amplifier, [2] the ability to use standard two-wire cables (such as coaxial cables), [3] the capability to extend cables longer compared to other methods, and [4] the ability to equip a disconnection detection function.
