DESCRIPTION
The XTR106 is a low cost, monolithic 4-20mA, two-
wire current transmitter designed for bridge sensors. It
provides complete bridge excitation (2.5V or 5V refer-
ence), instrumentation amplifier, sensor linearization,
and current output circuitry. Current for powering ad-
ditional external input circuitry is available from the
V_REG pin.
The instrumentation amplifier can be used over a wide
range of gain, accommodating a variety of input signal
types and sensors. Total unadjusted error of the com-
plete current transmitter, including the linearized bridge,
is low enough to permit use without adjustment in many
applications. The XTR106 operates on loop power sup-
ply voltages down to 7.5V.
Linearization circuitry provides second-order correction
to the transfer function by controlling bridge excitation
voltage. It provides up to a 20:1 improvement in
nonlinearity, even with low cost transducers.
The XTR106 is available in 14-pin plastic DIP and
SO-14 surface-mount packages and is specified for the
–40°C to +85°C temperature range. Operation is from
–55°C to +125°C.
