XTR101
SBOS146A − OCTOBER 1986 − REVISED AUGUST 2004
Precision, Low Drift
4-20mA TWO-WIRE TRANSMITTER
FD EATURES
DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER INPUT:
− Low Offset Voltage, 30µV max
− Low Voltage Drift, 0.75µV/°C max
− Low Nonlinearity, 0.01% max
The XTR101 is
a microcircuit, 4-20mA, two-wire
transmitter containing a high accuracy instrumentation
amplifier (IA), a voltage-controlled output current source,
and dual-matched precision current reference. This
combination is ideally suited for remote signal conditioning
of a wide variety of transducers such as thermocouples,
RTDs, thermistors, and strain gauge bridges. State-of-the-
art design and laser-trimming, wide temperature range
operation, and small size make it very suitable for
industrial process control applications. In addition, the
optional external transistor allows even higher precision.

TRUE TWO-WIRE OPERATION:
− Power and Signal on One Wire Pair
− Current Mode Signal Transmission
− High Noise Immunity

DUAL MATCHED CURRENT SOURCES
WIDE SUPPLY RANGE: 11.6V to 40V
SPECIFICATION RANGE: −40°C to +85°C
The two-wire transmitter allows signal and power to be
supplied on a single wire pair by modulating the
power-supply current with the input signal source. The
transmitter is immune to voltage drops from long runs and
noise from motors, relays, actuators, switches,
transformers, and industrial equipment. It can be used by
OEMs producing transmitter modules or by data
acquisition system manufacturers.
