DESCRIPTION
The XTR115 and XTR116 are precision current out-
put converters designed to transmit analog 4-to-20mA
signals over an industry standard current loop. They
provide accurate current scaling and output current
limit functions.
The on-chip voltage regulator (5V) can be used to
power external circuitry. A precision on-chip VREF
(2.5V for XTR115 and 4.096V for XTR116) can be
used for offsetting or to excite transducers. A current
return pin (IRET) senses any current used in external
circuitry to assure an accurate control of the output
current.
The XTR115 is a fundamental building block of
smart sensors using 4-to-20mA current transmission.
The XTR115 and XTR116 are specified for opera-
tion over the extended industrial temperature range,
–40°C to +85°C.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instru-
ments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degrada-
tion to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The XTR115 and XTR116 are identical devices except for
the reference voltage output, pin 1. This voltage is available
for external circuitry and is not used internally. Further
discussions that apply to both devices will refer to the
“XTR115/6.”
Figure 1 shows basic circuit connections with representative
simplified input circuitry. The XTR115/6 is a two-wire
current transmitter. Its input signal (pin 2) controls the output
current. A portion of this current flows into the V+ power
supply, pin 7. The remaining current flows in Q1. External
input circuitry connected to the XTR115/6 can be powered
from VREG or VREF. Current drawn from these terminals
must be returned to IRET, pin 3. This IRET pin is a “local
ground” for input circuitry driving the XTR115/6.
The XTR115/6 is a current-input device with a gain of 100.
A current flowing into pin 2 produces IO = 100 • IIN. The
input voltage at the IIN pin is zero (referred to the IRET pin).
A voltage input is created with an external input resistor, as
shown. Common full-scale input voltages range from 1V
and upward. Full-scale inputs greater than 0.5V are recom-
mend to minimize the effect of offset voltage and drift of A1.
EXTERNAL TRANSISTOR
The external transistor, Q1, conducts the majority of the full-
scale output current. Power dissipation in this transistor can
approach 0.8W with high loop voltage (40V) and 20mA
output current. The XTR115/6 is designed to use an external
transistor to avoid on-chip thermal-induced errors. Heat
produced by Q1 will still cause ambient temperature changes
that can affect the XTR115/6. To minimize these effects,
locate Q1 away from sensitive analog circuitry, including
XTR115/6. Mount Q1 so that heat is conducted to the
outside of the transducer housing.
The XTR115/6 is designed to use virtually any NPN transis-
tor with sufficient voltage, current and power rating. Case
style and thermal mounting considerations often influence
the choice for any given application. Several possible choices
are listed in Figure 1. A MOSFET transistor will not improve
the accuracy of the XTR115/6 and is not recommended.

MINIMUM-SCALE CURRENT
The quiescent current of the XTR115/6 (typically 200µA)
is the lower limit of its output current. Zero input current
(IIN = 0) will produce an IO equal to the quiescent current.
Output current will not begin to increase until IIN > IQ/100.
Current drawn from VREF or VREG will add to this minimum
output current. This means that more than 3.7mA is avail-
able to power external circuitry while still allowing the
output current to go below 4mA.
OFFSETTING THE INPUT
A low scale of 4mA is produced by creating a 40µA input
current. This can be created with the proper value resistor
from VREF (Figure 2), or by generating offset in the input
drive circuitry.

MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT
The XTR115/6 provides accurate, linear output up to 25mA.
Internal circuitry limits the output current to approximately
32mA to protect the transmitter and loop power/measure-
ment circuitry.
It is possible to extend the output current range of the
XTR115/6 by connecting an external resistor from pin 3 to
pin 5, to change the current limit value. Since all output
current must flow through internal resistors, it is possible to
damage with excessive current. Output currents greater than
45mA may cause permanent damage.

FIGURE 4. Reverse Voltage Operation and Over-Voltage Surge Protection.
REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The XTR115/6 low compliance voltage rating (7.5V) per-
mits the use of various voltage protection methods without
compromising operating range. Figure 4 shows a diode
bridge circuit which allows normal operation even when the
voltage connection lines are reversed. The bridge causes a
two diode drop (approximately 1.4V) loss in loop supply
voltage. This results in a compliance voltage of approxi-
mately 9V—satisfactory for most applications. A diode can
be inserted in series with the loop supply voltage and the V+
pin to protect against reverse output connection lines with
only a 0.7V loss in loop supply voltage.
OVER-VOLTAGE SURGE PROTECTION
Remote connections to current transmitters can sometimes be
subjected to voltage surges. It is prudent to limit the maximum
surge voltage applied to the XTR115/6 to as low as practical.
Various zener diode and surge clamping diodes are specially
designed for this purpose. Select a clamp diode with as low a
voltage rating as possible for best protection. For example, a
36V protection diode will assure proper transmitter operation
at normal loop voltages, yet will provide an appropriate level
of protection against voltage surges. Characterization tests on
several production lots showed no damage with loop supply
voltages up to 65V.
Most surge protection zener diodes have a diode character-
istic in the forward direction that will conduct excessive
current, possibly damaging receiving-side circuitry if the
loop connections are reversed. If a surge protection diode is
used, a series diode or diode bridge should be used for
protection against reversed connections.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
The long wire lengths of current loops invite radio frequency
interference. RF can be rectified by the input circuitry of the
XTR115/6 or preceding circuitry. This generally appears as
an unstable output current that varies with the position of
loop supply or input wiring.
Interference may also enter at the input terminals. For
integrated transmitter assemblies with short connection to
the sensor, the interference more likely comes from the
current loop connections.

third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
